These are just the 6 remaining cleanup patches (after the 2.6.36 merge got the other in) in preparation for the Unified patches. I think it may be best to first try to merge these and make sure that they are fine before we go step by step through the unification patches. I hope they can go into -next. Patch 1 Uninline debug functions in hot paths. There is no point of the compiler folding them in because they are typically unused. Patch 2 Remove dynamic creation of DMA caches and create them statically (will be turned dynamic by patch 4 but will then always be preallocated on boot and not from the hotpath) Patch 3 Remove static allocation of kmem_cache_cpu array and rely on the percpu allocator to allocate memory for the array on bootup. Patch 4 Remove static allocation of kmem_cache structure for kmalloc and friends. Patch 5 Extract hooks for memory checkers. Patch 6 Move gfpflag masking out of the allocator hotpath -- 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/ .
