Subject: Re: [RFT/PATCH] slab: consolidate allocation paths
Date: Sat, 4 Feb 2006 18:00:26 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060204180026.b68e9476.pj@sgi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1139070779.21489.5.camel@localhost>

This consolidation patch looks ok to me on first read, though others
are certainly more expert in this code than I am.  Certainly cleanup,
ifdef reduction and consolidation of mm/slab.c is a worthwhile goal.
That code is rough for folks like me to follow.

Two issues I can see:

  1) This patch increased the text size of mm/slab.o by 776
     bytes (ia64 sn2_defconfig gcc 3.3.3), which should be
     justified.  My naive expectation would have been that
     such a source code consolidation patch would be text
     size neutral, or close to it.

  2) You might want to hold off this patch for a few days,
     until the dust settles from my memory spread patch.
