[cpuops cmpxchg double V2 3/4] slub: Get rid of slab_free_hook_irq()

From: Christoph Lameter
Date: Thu Jan 06 2011 - 15:46:15 EST


The following patch will make the fastpaths lockless and will no longer
require interrupts to be disabled. Calling the free hook with irq disabled
will no longer be possible.

Move the slab_free_hook_irq() logic into slab_free_hook. Only disable
interrupts if the features are selected that require callbacks with
interrupts off and reenable after calls have been made.
