slub bulk alloc: extract objects from the per cpu slab First piece: acceleration of retrieval of per cpu objects If we are allocating lots of objects then it is advantageous to disable interrupts and avoid the this_cpu_cmpxchg() operation to get these objects faster. Note that we cannot do the fast operation if debugging is enabled, because we would have to add extra code to do all the debugging checks. And it would not be fast anyway. Note also that the requirement of having interrupts disabled avoids having to do processor flag operations. Allocate as many objects as possible in the fast way and then fall back to the generic implementation for the rest of the objects.
