[slubllv7 02/17] slub: Do not use frozen page flag but a bit in the page counters

From: Christoph Lameter
Date: Wed Jun 01 2011 - 13:30:41 EST


Do not use a page flag for the frozen bit. It needs to be part
of the state that is handled with cmpxchg_double(). So use a bit
in the counter struct in the page struct for that purpose.
