Hmm, I had not understood you minded that very much; I did stay away from all the fast paths this time. The thing is, I wanted to fold all the emergency allocs into a single slab, not a per cpu thing. And once you loose the per cpu thing, you need some extra serialization. Currently the top level lock is slab_lock(page), but that only works because we have interrupts disabled and work per cpu. Why is it bad to extend kmem_cache a bit? - 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/ | ||||||||||
