This is a first stab at such functionality. It adds #ifdef CONFIG_STABLE for now. Maybe we can come up with some better way to handle it later. There should alsol be some way to set CONFIG_STABLE from the Makefile. CONFIG_STABLE switches off - kmalloc(0) check in both slab allocators - SLUB banner - Makes SLUB tolerate object corruption like SLAB (not sure if we really want to go down this route. See patch) -- -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org. For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ . Don't email: email@kvack.org
