From 81107188f123e3c2217ac2f2feb2a1147904c62f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2011 13:01:32 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] slub: Fix partial count comparison confusion deactivate_slab() has the comparison if more than the minimum number of partial pages are in the partial list wrong. An effect of this may be that empty pages are not freed from deactivate_slab(). The result could be an OOM due to growth of the partial slabs per node. Frees mostly occur from __slab_free which is okay so this would only affect use cases where a lot of switching around of per cpu slabs occur. Switching per cpu slabs occurs with high frequency if debugging options are enabled.
