From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> flush_all() flushes a specific SLAB cache on each CPU (where the cache is present). The deactivate_slab()/__free_slab() invocation happens within IPI handler and is problematic for PREEMPT_RT. The flush operation is not a frequent operation or a hot path. The per-CPU flush operation can be moved to within a workqueue.
