[PATCH 02.5] mm: sl[au]b: first remove PFMEMALLOC flag then SLAB flag

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <hidden>
Date: 2012-06-15 15:55:03
Also in: linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, slab allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Vlastimil Babka, Harry Yoo, Linus Torvalds

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

If we first remove the SLAB flag followed by the PFMEMALLOC flag then the
removal of the latter will trigger the VM_BUG_ON() as it can be seen in
| kernel BUG at include/linux/page-flags.h:474!
| invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
| Call Trace:
|  [<c10e2d77>] slab_destroy+0x27/0x70
|  [<c10e3285>] drain_freelist+0x55/0x90
|  [<c10e344e>] __cache_shrink+0x6e/0x90
|  [<c14e3211>] ? acpi_sleep_init+0xcf/0xcf
|  [<c10e349d>] kmem_cache_shrink+0x2d/0x40

because the SLAB flag is gone. This patch simply changes the order.
