Subject: [slubllv333num@/21] slub: fast release on full slab
Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2011 15:13:05 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110415201305.961665970@linux.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20110415201246.096634892@linux.com

[-- Attachment #1: slab_alloc_fast_release --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1788 bytes --]

Make deactivation occur implicitly while checking out the current freelist.

This avoids one cmpxchg operation on a slab that is now fully in use.
