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.
