Merge branch 'slab/for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/linux
Pull slab update from Pekka Enberg:
"Highlights:
- Fix for boot-time problems on some architectures due to
init_lock_keys() not respecting kmalloc_caches boundaries
(Christoph Lameter)
- CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL requested by RT folks (Joonsoo Kim)
- Fix for excessive slab freelist draining (Wanpeng Li)
- SLUB and SLOB cleanups and fixes (various people)"
I ended up editing the branch, and this avoids two commits at the end
that were immediately reverted, and I instead just applied the oneliner
fix in between myself.
* 'slab/for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/linux
slub: Check for page NULL before doing the node_match check
mm/slab: Give s_next and s_stop slab-specific names
slob: Check for NULL pointer before calling ctor()
slub: Make cpu partial slab support configurable
slab: add kmalloc() to kernel API documentation
slab: fix init_lock_keys
slob: use DIV_ROUND_UP where possible
slub: do not put a slab to cpu partial list when cpu_partial is 0
mm/slub: Use node_nr_slabs and node_nr_objs in get_slabinfo
mm/slub: Drop unnecessary nr_partials
mm/slab: Fix /proc/slabinfo unwriteable for slab
mm/slab: Sharing s_next and s_stop between slab and slub
mm/slab: Fix drain freelist excessively
