Merge branch 'slab/next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/linux
Pull SLAB changes from Pekka Enberg:
"The patches from Joonsoo Kim switch mm/slab.c to use 'struct page' for
slab internals similar to mm/slub.c. This reduces memory usage and
improves performance:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/16/155
Rest of the changes are bug fixes from various people"
* 'slab/next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/linux: (21 commits)
mm, slub: fix the typo in mm/slub.c
mm, slub: fix the typo in include/linux/slub_def.h
slub: Handle NULL parameter in kmem_cache_flags
slab: replace non-existing 'struct freelist *' with 'void *'
slab: fix to calm down kmemleak warning
slub: proper kmemleak tracking if CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG disabled
slab: rename slab_bufctl to slab_freelist
slab: remove useless statement for checking pfmemalloc
slab: use struct page for slab management
slab: replace free and inuse in struct slab with newly introduced active
slab: remove SLAB_LIMIT
slab: remove kmem_bufctl_t
slab: change the management method of free objects of the slab
slab: use __GFP_COMP flag for allocating slab pages
slab: use well-defined macro, virt_to_slab()
slab: overloading the RCU head over the LRU for RCU free
slab: remove cachep in struct slab_rcu
slab: remove nodeid in struct slab
slab: remove colouroff in struct slab
slab: change return type of kmem_getpages() to struct page
