In deactivate_slab() we currently move all but one objects on the cpu freelist to the page freelist one by one using the costly cmpxchg_double() operation. Then we unfreeze the page while moving the last object on page freelist, with a final cmpxchg_double(). This can be optimized to avoid the cmpxchg_double() per object. Just count the objects on cpu freelist (to adjust page->inuse properly) and also remember the last object in the chain. Then splice page->freelist to the last object and effectively add the whole cpu freelist to page->freelist while unfreezing the page, with a single cmpxchg_double().

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.
