Subject: [GIT PULL] SLAB updates for 2.6.30-rc1

Hi Linus,

Please pull the latest SLAB three which contains the following changes:

  - SLOB locking fix (Nick Pigging)

  - Bump up page allocator pass-through threshold to PAGE_SIZE * 2 to fix a
    netperf regression (Zhang Yanmin, Christoph Lameter)

  - Per-cache 'min_partial' tunable (David Rientjes)

  - Assorted cleanups to SLUB and SLOB (Akinobu Mita, Americo Wang)

Thanks!

		Pekka

The following changes since commit 8e0ee43bc2c3e19db56a4adaa9a9b04ce885cd84:
