You mean "Prefilled Sheaf API Counter"?

This doesn't make sense to me.

Perhaps should be separated into
"Sheaf Allocation/Free" and
"Sheaf Refill/Flush" ?

Perhaps let's fold this into slab_stats()?
I'm not sure why this should be in a separate function.
These files are part of SLUB_STATS files, that are related to sheaves.
