From 6cb8f91320d3e720351c21741da795fed580b21b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 04:03:22 -0700 Subject: Slab allocators: consistent ZERO_SIZE_PTR support and NULL result semantics Define ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR macro to be able to remove the checks from the allocators. Move ZERO_SIZE_PTR related stuff into slab.h. Make ZERO_SIZE_PTR work for all slab allocators and get rid of the WARN_ON_ONCE(size == 0) that is still remaining in SLAB. Make slub return NULL like the other allocators if a too large memory segment is requested via __kmalloc.
