From: Vlastimil Babka Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2021 01:19:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 05/33] mm, slub: remove redundant unfreeze_partials() from put_cpu_partial() Commit d6e0b7fa1186 ("slub: make dead caches discard free slabs immediately") introduced cpu partial flushing for kmemcg caches, based on setting the target cpu_partial to 0 and adding a flushing check in put_cpu_partial(). This code that sets cpu_partial to 0 was later moved by c9fc586403e7 ("slab: introduce __kmemcg_cache_deactivate()") and ultimately removed by 9855609bde03 ("mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches for all accounted allocations"). However the check and flush in put_cpu_partial() was never removed, although it's effectively a dead code. So this patch removes it. Note that d6e0b7fa1186 also added preempt_disable()/enable() to unfreeze_partials() which could be thus also considered unnecessary. But further patches will rely on it, so keep it.
