Series SLUB: reduce irq disabled scope and make it RT compatible | expand

Commit Message

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

flush_all() flushes a specific SLAB cache on each CPU (where the cache
is present). The deactivate_slab()/__free_slab() invocation happens
within IPI handler and is problematic for PREEMPT_RT.

The flush operation is not a frequent operation or a hot path. The
per-CPU flush operation can be moved to within a workqueue.

Because a workqueue handler, unlike IPI handler, does not disable irqs,
flush_slab() now has to disable them for working with the kmem_cache_cpu
fields. deactivate_slab() is safe to call with irqs enabled.
