the return value of kmalloc_index is used as index of kmalloc_caches, which is defined as: struct kmem_cache * kmalloc_caches[NR_KMALLOC_TYPES][KMALLOC_SHIFT_HIGH + 1] and KMALLOC_SHIFT_HIGH is defined as: #define KMALLOC_SHIFT_HIGH ((MAX_ORDER + PAGE_SHIFT - 1) <= 25 ? \ (MAX_ORDER + PAGE_SHIFT - 1) : 25) KMALLOC_SHIFT_HIGH is maximum 25 by its definition. thus index of kmalloc_caches cannot be 26. so this case should be removed.
