kernel: kmem_ptr_validate considered harmful

2011-01-07T06:50:16Z

This is a nasty and error prone API. It is no longer used, remove it. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin

slob: fix gfp flags for order-0 page allocations

2010-10-02T07:24:28Z

kmalloc_node() may allocate higher order slob pages, but the __GFP_COMP bit is only passed to the page allocator and not represented in the tracepoint event. The bit should be passed to trace_kmalloc_node() as well. Acked-by: Matt Mackall Reviewed-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: David Rientjes Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg

SLOB: Free objects to their own list

SLOB has alloced smaller objects from their own list in reduce overall external fragmentation and increase repeatability, free to their own list also.

mm: remove all rcu head initializations

2010-06-14T23:37:26Z

Remove all rcu head inits. We don't care about the RCU head state before passing it to call_rcu() anyway. Only leave the "on_stack" variants so debugobjects can keep track of objects on stack.
