[+Cc Dennis] Wondering if we can reduce (or zero) early reservation of percpu area when #if !defined(CONFIG_SLUB) || defined(CONFIG_SLUB_TINY)? > This change builds on recent commit c7323a5ad078 ("mm/slub: restrict > sysfs validation to debug caches and make it safe"), as caches with > enabled debugging also avoid percpu slabs and all allocations and > freeing ends up working with the partial list.
