Christoph Lameter ac2b898ca6 [PATCH] slab: Remove SLAB_NO_REAP option
SLAB_NO_REAP is documented as an option that will cause this slab not to be
reaped under memory pressure.  However, that is not what happens.  The only
thing that SLAB_NO_REAP controls at the moment is the reclaim of the unused
slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap().  Cache_reap()
is run every few seconds independently of memory pressure.

Could we remove the whole thing?  Its only used by three slabs anyways and
I cannot find a reason for having this option.

There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP.  If set then the recovery
of objects from alien caches is switched off.  Objects not freed on the
same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a
certain amount of objects accumulates from one alien node (not very likely)
or if the cache is explicitly shrunk.  (Strangely __cache_shrink does not
check for SLAB_NO_REAP)

Getting rid of SLAB_NO_REAP fixes the problems with alien cache freeing.
