[PATCH] Use 32 bit division in slab_put_obj()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Improve the performance of slab_put_obj().  Without the cast, gcc considers
ptrdiff_t a 64 bit signed integer and ends up emitting code to use a full
signed 128 bit divide on EM64T, which is substantially slower than a 32 bit
unsigned divide.

I noticed this when looking at the profile of a case where the slab balance
is just on edge and thrashes back and forth freeing a block.
