The patch titled Subject: mm, slub: return slab page from get_partial() and set c->page afterwards has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-slub-return-slab-page-from-get_partial-and-set-c-page-afterwards.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-slub-return-slab-page-from-get_partial-and-set-c-page-afterwards.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-slub-return-slab-page-from-get_partial-and-set-c-page-afterwards.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx> Subject: mm, slub: return slab page from get_partial() and set c->page afterwards The function get_partial() finds a suitable page on a partial list, acquires and returns its freelist and assigns the page pointer to kmem_cache_cpu. In later patch we will need more control over the kmem_cache_cpu.page assignment, so instead of passing a kmem_cache_cpu pointer, pass a pointer to a pointer to a page that get_partial() can fill and the caller can assign the kmem_cache_cpu.page pointer. No functional change as all of this still happens with disabled IRQs.
