[RFC 13/26] SLUB: Add SlabReclaimable() to avoid repeated reclaim attempts

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

 



Add a flag SlabReclaimable() that is set on slabs with a method
that allows defrag/reclaim. Clear the flag if a reclaim action is not
successful in reducing the number of objects in a slab. The reclaim
flag is set again if all objects have been allocated from it.
