hm, patch is whitespace damaged.

Also, the fix looks rather intrusive.

Could we please disable the lockless slub code first and then do everything
with proper testing and re-enable the lockless code *after* we know that the
alternatives fixup change is robust, etc? That way there's no rush needed.

There's a lot of code that could break from tweaking the alternatives code.

Thanks,

Ingo
