In the per cpu partial slub, we may add a full page into node partial list. like the following scenario: cpu1 cpu2 in unfreeze_partials in __slab_alloc ... add_partial(n, page, 1); alloced from cpu partial, and set frozen = 1. second cmpxchg_double_slab() set frozen = 0 At that time, maybe we'd better to unfreeze it in acquire_slab(). That let it in 'full list' mode, frozen=0 and freelist = NULL, same as we did in __slab_alloc() Signed-off-by: Alex Shi <alex.shi@xxxxxxxxx> --- mm/slub.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/mm/slub.c b/mm/slub.c index 6fca71c..7846951 100644 --- a/mm/slub.c +++ b/mm/slub.c @@ -1579,7 +1579,7 @@ static inline void *acquire_slab(struct kmem_cache *s, new.inuse = page->objects; VM_BUG_ON(new.frozen); - new.frozen = 1; + new.frozen = freelist != NULL; } while (!__cmpxchg_double_slab(s, page, freelist, counters, -- 1.7.0 -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
