[RFC PATCH v2 2/6] slub: Prepare __slab_free() for unfrozen partial slab out of node partial list

From: chengming . zhou
Date: Sat Oct 21 2023 - 10:44:13 EST


From: Chengming Zhou <zhouchengming@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Now the partial slub will be frozen when taken out of node partial list,
so the __slab_free() will know from "was_frozen" that the partial slab
is not on node partial list and is used by one kmem_cache_cpu.

But we will change this, make partial slabs leave the node partial list
with unfrozen state, so we need to change __slab_free() to use the new
slab_test_node_partial() we just introduced.
