Hi Chengming, this is the kerneltesting.org test report for your patch series.

I applied this series on my slab-experimental tree [1] for testing,
and I observed several kernel panics [2] [3] [4] on kernels without
CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL.

To verify that this series caused kernel panics, I tested before and after
applying it on Vlastimil's slab/for-next and yeah, this series was the cause.

System is deadlocked on memory and the OOM-killer says there is a
huge amount of slab memory. So maybe there is a memory leak or it makes
slab memory grow unboundedly?
