I can work on reshuffling the code. Do have a question though. This
following sanity check is currently done only when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is
defined. However, it does appear to be something that is that should be
checked even in regular path.

struct kmem_cache *kmem_cache_create(const char *name, size_t size,
size_t align,
unsigned long flags, void (*ctor)(void *))
{
struct kmem_cache *s = NULL;

#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_VM
if (!name || in_interrupt() || size < sizeof(void *) ||
size > KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE) {
printk(KERN_ERR "kmem_cache_create(%s) integrity check"
" failed\n", name);
goto out;
}
#endif



---

}

Am I reading this right?

Thanks,
