Hmmm, 
it doesn't change any behavior.

I did ..

1. slub code change (see below)


Index: b/mm/slub.c
===================================================================
--- a/mm/slub.c
+++ b/mm/slub.c
@@ -4056,7 +4056,7 @@ static ssize_t remote_node_defrag_ratio_
        if (err)
                return err;

-       if (ratio < 100)
+       if (ratio <= 100)
                s->remote_node_defrag_ratio = ratio * 10;

        return length;


2. change remote defrag ratio
	# echo 100 > /sys/kernel/slab/:t-0000128/remote_node_defrag_ratio
	# cat /sys/kernel/slab/:t-0000128/remote_node_defrag_ratio
	100

3. ran hackbench
4. ./slabinfo
