The patch titled
Subject: mm, slub: move reset of c->page and freelist out of deactivate_slab()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-slub-move-reset-of-c-page-and-freelist-out-of-deactivate_slab.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx>
Subject: mm, slub: move reset of c->page and freelist out of deactivate_slab()
deactivate_slab() removes the cpu slab by merging the cpu freelist with
slab's freelist and putting the slab on the proper node's list. It also
sets the respective kmem_cache_cpu pointers to NULL.
By extracting the kmem_cache_cpu operations from the function, we can make
it not dependent on disabled irqs.
Also if we return a single free pointer from ___slab_alloc, we no longer
have to assign kmem_cache_cpu.page before deactivation or care if somebody
preempted us and assigned a different page to our kmem_cache_cpu in the
process.
