[PATCH v2 1/3] mm,slub: Do not special case N_NORMAL nodes for slab_nodes
From: Oscar Salvador
Date: Tue Apr 08 2025 - 04:44:25 EST
Currently, slab_mem_going_going_callback() checks whether the node has
N_NORMAL memory in order to be set in slab_nodes.
While it is true that gettind rid of that enforcing would mean
ending up with movables nodes in slab_nodes, the memory waste that comes
with that is negligible.
So stop checking for status_change_nid_normal and just use status_change_nid
instead which works for both types of memory.
Also, once we allocate the kmem_cache_node cache for the node in
slab_mem_online_callback(), we never deallocate it in
slab_mem_off_callback() when the node goes memoryless, so we can just
get rid of it.
The only side effect is that we will stop clearing the node from slab_nodes.
