-- In the course of working on some patches to implement subsystem-wide critical pools through the existing mempool API, I created the following patches which create 3 new common mempool allocators (mempool_alloc_pages, mempool_kmalloc & mempool_kzalloc) and freers. The following 6 patches add these new common allocators and convert existing mempool users to use these common allocators, where possible.
After the application of these patches there are only 4 places where 'non-common' allocators are used (drivers/md/raid1.c & raid10.c, mm/highmem.c and drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c), and all of these are non-trivial allocators. The sum of these patches is a reduction of 60 lines of kernel code and the removal of many nearly identical mempool allocators.
These patches are against 2.6.16-rc1-mm3.
Thanks!
