[RFC/PATCH] slab: clean up allocation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi!

This patch cleans up the slab allocation path by making the UMA case look like
NUMA that always allocates from the current node.  In addition, I merged up the
two NUMA allocation paths (kmem_cache_alloc_node and __cache_alloc) into single
function so that we always use alternate_node_alloc() if PF_SPREAD_SLAB or
PF_MEMPOLICY is defined.

Note: increases kernel text on numa by 70 bytes on x86 due to inlining of
the cache_alloc function in multiple call sites.
