[PATCH 03/33] mm: slub: add knowledge of reserve pages

[Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>]

[-- Attachment #1: reserve-slab.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4012 bytes --]

Restrict objects from reserve slabs (ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS) to allocation
contexts that are entitled to it.

Care is taken to only touch the SLUB slow path.

This is done to ensure reserve pages don't leak out and get consumed.
