slab_out_of_memory() uses count_partial() to get the exact count of free objects for each node. As it may get called in the slab allocation path, count_partial_free_approx() can be used to avoid the risk and overhead of traversing a long partial slab list. At the same time, show_slab_objects() still uses count_partial(). Thus, slub users can still have the option to access the exact count of objects via sysfs if the overhead is acceptable to them.

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 reStructuredText 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.
