mm/slob: Use free_page instead of put_page for page-size kmalloc allocations
When freeing objects, the slob allocator currently free empty pages calling __free_pages(). However, page-size kmallocs are disposed using put_page() instead. It makes no sense to call put_page() for kernel pages that are provided by the object allocator, so we shouldn't be doing this ourselves. This is based on: commit d9b7f22623b5fa9cc189581dcdfb2ac605933bf4 Author: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> slub: use free_page instead of put_page for freeing kmalloc allocation Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Acked-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia <elezegarcia@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>
