[PATCH v3 1/2] mm/slub: limit number of node partial slabs only in cache creation

[Hyeonggon Yoo <42.hyeyoo@gmail.com>]

SLUB sets number of minimum partial slabs for node (min_partial)
using set_min_partial(). SLUB holds at least min_partial slabs even if
they're empty to avoid excessive use of page allocator.

set_min_partial() limits value of min_partial limits value of
min_partial MIN_PARTIAL and MAX_PARTIAL. As set_min_partial() can be
called by min_partial_store() too, Only limit value of min_partial
in kmem_cache_open() so that it can be changed to value that a user wants.

[ rientjes@google.com: Fold set_min_partial() into its callers ]
