[PATCH] staging/lustre: Always try kmalloc first for OBD_ALLOC_LARGE

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Oleg Drokin <green@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Create libcfs_kvzalloc and libcfs_kvzalloc_cpt are
are designed to replace OBD_ALLOC_LARGE and OBD_CPT_ALLOC_LARGE.

Not a drop-in replacement as they also take gfp flags armument
for more flexibility.

This is how I envision the OBD_ALLOC_LARGE replacement.

BTW, it appears we also have LIBCFS_ALLOC and friends that we probably dont' need either.

Thanks your your great help!
