3.8.13.18 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Li Zefan <lizefan at huawei.com>
commit 8afb1474db4701d1ab80cd8251137a3260e6913e upstream.
/sys/kernel/slab/:t-0000048 # cat cpu_slabs
231 N0=16 N1=215
/sys/kernel/slab/:t-0000048 # cat slabs
145 N0=36 N1=109
See, the number of slabs is smaller than that of cpu slabs.
The bug was introduced by commit 49e2258586b423684f03c278149ab46d8f8b6700
("slub: per cpu cache for partial pages").
We should use page->pages instead of page->pobjects when calculating
the number of cpu partial slabs. This also fixes the mapping of slabs
and nodes.
As there's no variable storing the number of total/active objects in
cpu partial slabs, and we don't have user interfaces requiring those
statistics, I just add WARN_ON for those cases.
