    mm: slab: free kmem_cache_node after destroy sysfs file · 52b4b950
    Dmitry Safonov authored
    When slub_debug alloc_calls_show is enabled we will try to track
    location and user of slab object on each online node, kmem_cache_node
    structure and cpu_cache/cpu_slub shouldn't be freed till there is the
    last reference to sysfs file.
    
    This fixes the following panic:

    Separated __kmem_cache_release from __kmem_cache_shutdown which now
    called on slab_kmem_cache_release (after the last reference to sysfs
    file object has dropped).
    
    Reintroduced locking in free_partial as sysfs file might access cache's
    partial list after shutdowning - partial revert of the commit
    69cb8e6b ("slub: free slabs without holding locks").  Zap
    __remove_partial and use remove_partial (w/o underscores) as
    free_partial now takes list_lock which s partial revert for commit
    1e4dd946 ("slub: do not assert not having lock in removing freed
    partial")
