[merged] mm-slub-restructure-new-page-checks-in-___slab_alloc.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm, slub: restructure new page checks in ___slab_alloc()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-slub-restructure-new-page-checks-in-___slab_alloc.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>
Subject: mm, slub: restructure new page checks in ___slab_alloc()

When we allocate slab object from a newly acquired page (from node's
partial list or page allocator), we usually also retain the page as a new
percpu slab.  There are two exceptions - when pfmemalloc status of the
page doesn't match our gfp flags, or when the cache has debugging enabled.

The current code for these decisions is not easy to follow, so restructure
it and add comments.  The new structure will also help with the following
changes.  No functional change.
