From Manfred Spraul If an object is freed from a slab, then move the slab to the tail of the partial list - this should increase the probability that the other objects from the same page are freed, too, and that a page can be returned to gfp later. In other words: if we just freed an object from this page then make this page be the *last* page which is eligible for new allocations. Under the assumption that other objects in that same page are about to be freed up as well. The cpu arrays are now always in front of the list, i.e. cache hit rates should not matter.
