I still think it's wrongly implemented. We shouldn't be slowing down the slab fast path for this. Also BTW if anything your check would need to be dependent on !in_interrupt(), otherwise the policy of slab allocations in interrupt context will change randomly based on what the current process is doing (that's wrong, interrupts should be always local) But of course that would make the fast path even slower ... -Andi -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
