Merge branch 'slab-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/christoph/vm
* 'slab-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/christoph/vm: slub: Support 4k kmallocs again to compensate for page allocator slowness slub: Fallback to kmalloc_large for failing higher order allocs slub: Determine gfpflags once and not every time a slab is allocated make slub.c:slab_address() static slub: kmalloc page allocator pass-through cleanup slab: avoid double initialization & do initialization in 1 place
