One of the strange issues in include/linux/slab.h that it contains a list of global slab caches. The following patches remove all the global definitions from slab.h and find other ways of defining these caches. 6 of the 7 defined caches are rarely used. One is never used. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
