slab_out_of_memory() uses count_partial() to get the exact count of free objects for each node. As it may get called in the slab allocation path, count_partial_free_approx() can be used to avoid the risk and overhead of traversing a long partial slab list. At the same time, show_slab_objects() still uses count_partial(). Thus, slub users can still have the option to access the exact count of objects via sysfs if the overhead is acceptable to them.
