[merged] mm-slub-call-deactivate_slab-without-disabling-irqs.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm, slub: call deactivate_slab() without disabling irqs
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-slub-call-deactivate_slab-without-disabling-irqs.patch

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

From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>
Subject: mm, slub: call deactivate_slab() without disabling irqs

The function is now safe to be called with irqs enabled, so move the calls
outside of irq disabled sections.

When called from ___slab_alloc() -> flush_slab() we have irqs disabled, so
to reenable them before deactivate_slab() we need to open-code
flush_slab() in ___slab_alloc() and reenable irqs after modifying the
kmem_cache_cpu fields.  But that means a IRQ handler meanwhile might have
assigned a new page to kmem_cache_cpu.page so we have to retry the whole
check.

The remaining callers of flush_slab() are the IPI handler which has
disabled irqs anyway, and slub_cpu_dead() which will be dealt with in the
following patch.
