Ok this worked when testing on x86 32 bit SMP no NUMA (after removal of the bootstrap percpu areas in slub). The same config fails without the patches (x86 64 bit NUMA works fine). So if this is merged then we can drop the static percpu allocation and the special boot handling. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
