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 from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
