5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 684d28feb8546d1e9597aa363c3bfcf52fe250b7 upstream. fill_pool() uses 'obj_pool_min_free' to decide whether objects should be handed back to the kmem cache. But 'obj_pool_min_free' records the lowest historical value of the number of objects in the object pool and not the minimum number of objects which should be kept in the pool. Use 'debug_objects_pool_min_level' instead, which holds the minimum number which was scaled to the number of CPUs at boot time.
