plain text document attachment (mempool-add_kzalloc_allocator.patch)
From: Matthew Dobson <[email protected]>
Subject: [patch 5/6] mempool - Add kzalloc allocator
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.
