* Lock order:
* 1. slab_mutex (Global Mutex)
* 2. node->list_lock
* 3. slab_lock(page) (Only on some arches and for debugging)
*
* slab_mutex
*
* The role of the slab_mutex is to protect the list of all the slabs
* and to synchronize major metadata changes to slab cache structures.
*
* The slab_lock is only used for debugging and on arches that do not
* have the ability to do a cmpxchg_double. It only protects:
* A. page->freelist -> List of object free in a page
* B. page->inuse -> Number of objects in use
* C. page->objects -> Number of objects in page
* D. page->frozen -> frozen state
*
* If a slab is frozen then it is exempt from list management. It is not
* on any list. The processor that froze the slab is the one who can
* perform list operations on the page. Other processors may put objects
* onto the freelist but the processor that froze the slab is the only
* one that can retrieve the objects from the page's freelist.
*
* The list_lock protects the partial and full list on each node and
* the partial slab counter. If taken then no new slabs may be added or
* removed from the lists nor make the number of partial slabs be modified.
* (Note that the total number of slabs is an atomic value that may be
* modified without taking the list lock).
*
* The list_lock is a centralized lock and thus we avoid taking it as
* much as possible. As long as SLUB does not have to handle partial
* slabs, operations can continue without any centralized lock. F.e.
* allocating a long series of objects that fill up slabs does not require
* the list lock.
* Interrupts are disabled during allocation and deallocation in order to
* make the slab allocator safe to use in the context of an irq. In addition
* interrupts are disabled to ensure that the processor does not change
* while handling per_cpu slabs, due to kernel preemption.
*
* SLUB assigns one slab for allocation to each processor.
* Allocations only occur from these slabs called cpu slabs.
*
* Slabs with free elements are kept on a partial list and during regular
* operations no list for full slabs is used. If an object in a full slab is
* freed then the slab will show up again on the partial lists.
* We track full slabs for debugging purposes though because otherwise we
* cannot scan all objects.
*
* Slabs are freed when they become empty. Teardown and setup is
* minimal so we rely on the page allocators per cpu caches for
