Christopher Lameter aa456c7aeb slub: remove kmalloc under list_lock from list_slab_objects() V2
list_slab_objects() is called when a slab is destroyed and there are
objects still left to list the objects in the syslog.  This is a pretty
rare event.

And there it seems we take the list_lock and call kmalloc while holding
that lock.

Perform the allocation in free_partial() before the list_lock is taken.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
