From: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/slub.c: remove validation on cpu_slab in __flush_cpu_slab() cpu_slab is a per cpu variable which is allocated in all or none. If a cpu_slab failed to be allocated, the slub is not usable. We could use cpu_slab without validation in __flush_cpu_slab().
