[PATCH v2 1/5] mm/slab: Fix drain freelist excessively

From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Tue Jul 02 2013 - 20:50:18 EST


Changelog:
v1 -> v2:
* Fix the callers that pass # of objects. Make sure they pass # of slabs.

The drain_freelist is called to drain slabs_free lists for cache reap,
cache shrink, memory hotplug callback etc. The tofree parameter should
be the number of slab to free instead of the number of slab objects to
free.

This patch fix the callers that pass # of objects. Make sure they pass #
of slabs.
