Subject[patch 5/8] mempool - Add kzalloc allocator
From
Date
plain text document attachment (mempool-add_kzalloc_allocator.patch)
Add another allocator to the common mempool code: a kzalloc/kfree allocator

This will be used by the next patch in the series to replace a mempool-backed
kzalloc allocator. It is also very likely that there will be more users in the
future.
