[PATCH] More slab.h cleanups

2006-12-13T17:05:49+00:00

More cleanups for slab.h

1. Remove tabs from weird locations as suggested by Pekka

2. Drop the check for NUMA and SLAB_DEBUG from the fallback section
   as suggested by Pekka.

3. Uses static inline for the fallback defs as also suggested by Pekka.

4. Make kmem_ptr_valid take a const * argument.

5. Separate the NUMA fallback definitions from the kmalloc_track fallback
   definitions.

[PATCH] Cleanup slab headers / API to allow easy addition of new slab allocators

2006-12-13T17:05:49+00:00

This is a response to an earlier discussion on linux-mm about splitting
slab.h components per allocator.  Patch is against 2.6.19-git11.  See
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=116469577431008&w=2

This patch cleans up the slab header definitions.  We define the common
functions of slob and slab in slab.h and put the extra definitions needed
for slab's kmalloc implementations in .  In order to get
a greater set of common functions we add several empty functions to slob.c
and also rename slob's kmalloc to __kmalloc.

Slob does not need any special definitions since we introduce a fallback
case.  If there is no need for a slab implementation to provide its own
kmalloc mess^H^H^Hacros then we simply fall back to __kmalloc functions.
That is sufficient for SLOB.

Sort the function in slab.h according to their functionality.  First the
functions operating on struct kmem_cache * then the kmalloc related
functions followed by special debug and fallback definitions.

Also redo a lot of comments.
