I'd question the usefulness of this. It adds more code to a fastpath (kmem_cache_alloc) so as to speed up a slowpath (kzalloc()) which is already slow due to its memset.
It makes my kernel a bit fatter too - 150-odd bytes of text for some reason. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
