Subject: SLUB: Define functions for cpu slab handling instead of using PageActive
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4b6f0750457db1f573eb6226960a432da3be8fe2;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

SLUB: Define functions for cpu slab handling instead of using PageActive

Use inline functions to access the per cpu bit.  Intoduce the notion of
"freezing" a slab to make things more understandable.
