Matthew,

I plan to change this one with the same idea you mentioned in previous reply.

While one special "technique" is how to name it.

How about name this one

    slub_cpu_partial()

And rename the previous one

   slub_percpu_partial()

This is really hard to say which one is better :-(
Not sure whether you have some insight in this.
