[PATCH] NUMA slab locking fixes: irq disabling from cahep->spinlock to l3 lock
Earlier, we had to disable on chip interrupts while taking the
cachep->spinlock because, at cache_grow, on every addition of a slab to a slab
cache, we incremented colour_next which was protected by the cachep->spinlock,
and cache_grow could occur at interrupt context. Since, now we protect the
per-node colour_next with the node's list_lock, we do not need to disable on
chip interrupts while taking the per-cache spinlock, but we just need to
disable interrupts when taking the per-node kmem_list3 list_lock.
