    Subject[PATCH 2/3] slub: reduce failure of this_cpu_cmpxchg in put_cpu_partial() after unfreezing
    Date
    In current implementation, after unfreezing, we doesn't touch oldpage,
    so it remain 'NOT NULL'. When we call this_cpu_cmpxchg()
    with this old oldpage, this_cpu_cmpxchg() is mostly be failed.

    We can change value of oldpage to NULL after unfreezing,
    because unfreeze_partial() ensure that all the cpu partial slabs is removed
    from cpu partial list. In this time, we could expect that
    this_cpu_cmpxchg is mostly succeed.
