+Subject: mm, slub: restore the original intention of prefetch_freepointer()
+
+From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>
+
+commit 0882ff9190e3bc51e2d78c3aadd7c690eeaa91d5 upstream.
+
+In SLUB, prefetch_freepointer() is used when allocating an object from
+cache's freelist, to make sure the next object in the list is cache-hot,
+since it's probable it will be allocated soon.
+
+Commit 2482ddec670f ("mm: add SLUB free list pointer obfuscation") has
+unintentionally changed the prefetch in a way where the prefetch is
+turned to a real fetch, and only the next->next pointer is prefetched.
+In case there is not a stream of allocations that would benefit from
+prefetching, the extra real fetch might add a useless cache miss to the
+allocation.  Restore the previous behavior.
