Yes, The word is really not good here. How about of CPU_PARTIAL_UNFREEZE
since a unfreeze_cpu_partial() just called before ?

Yes, I want to account the unfreeze_partials() actions in
put_cpu_partial(). The unfreezing accounting isn't conflict or repeat
with the cpu_partial_free accounting, since they are different actions
for the PCP.
According your above comments, how about the new patch with new
accounting name?

Subject: [PATCH] slub: per cpu partial statistics change
This patch split the cpu_partial_free into 2 parts: cpu_partial_node, PCP refilling
times from node partial; and same name cpu_partial_free, PCP refilling times in
slab_free slow path. A new statistic 'cpu_partial_unfreeze' is added to get PCP
unfreeze times. These info are useful when do PCP tunning.
The slabinfo.c code is unchanged, since cpu_partial_node is not on slow path.
