Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 19/20] mm/slub: remove DEACTIVATE_TO_* stat items
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 16:17:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260112-sheaves-for-all-v2-19-98225cfb50cf@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260112-sheaves-for-all-v2-0-98225cfb50cf@suse.cz>
The cpu slabs and their deactivations were removed, so remove the unused
stat items. Weirdly enough the values were also used to control
__add_partial() adding to head or tail of the list, so replace that with
a new enum add_mode, which is cleaner.
