The reason the current implementation is so complex is to avoid races. The

Minimizing code in do {} while loop introduce a reduced fail rate
of cmpxchg_double_slab. Below is output of 'slabinfo -r kmalloc-256'
when './perf stat -r 33 hackbench 50 process 4000 > /dev/null' is done.
Looks good. If I can convince myself that this does not open up any
new races then I may ack it.
This is a reminder mail.
Would u give me some comments for this please?
