slub: fix false-positive lockdep warning in free_partial()
Commit c65c1877bd68 ("slub: use lockdep_assert_held") requires remove_partial() to be called with n->list_lock held, but free_partial() called from kmem_cache_close() on cache destruction does not follow this rule, leading to a warning: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2787 at mm/slub.c:1536 __kmem_cache_shutdown+0x1b2/0x1f0() Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 2787 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G W 3.14.0-rc1-mm1+ #1 Hardware name: 0000000000000600 ffff88003ae1dde8 ffffffff816d9583 0000000000000600 0000000000000000 ffff88003ae1de28 ffffffff8107c107 0000000000000000 ffff880037ab2b00 ffff88007c240d30 ffffea0001ee5280 ffffea0001ee52a0 Call Trace: [<ffffffff816d9583>] dump_stack+0x51/0x6e [<ffffffff8107c107>] warn_slowpath_common+0x87/0xb0 [<ffffffff8107c145>] warn_slowpath_null+0x15/0x20 [<ffffffff811c7fe2>] __kmem_cache_shutdown+0x1b2/0x1f0 [<ffffffff811908d3>] kmem_cache_destroy+0x43/0xf0 [<ffffffffa013a123>] xfs_destroy_zones+0x103/0x110 [xfs] [<ffffffffa0192b54>] exit_xfs_fs+0x38/0x4e4 [xfs] [<ffffffff811036fa>] SyS_delete_module+0x19a/0x1f0 [<ffffffff816dfcd8>] ? retint_swapgs+0x13/0x1b [<ffffffff810d2125>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x105/0x1d0 [<ffffffff81359efe>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_thunk+0x3a/0x3f [<ffffffff816e8539>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Although this cannot actually result in a race, because on cache destruction there should not be any concurrent frees or allocations from the cache, let's add spin_lock/unlock to free_partial() just to keep lockdep happy.
