[RFC PATCH v1 09/15] mm/slab: kmalloc: pass requests larger than order-1 page to page allocator

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

 



There is not much benefit for serving large objects in kmalloc().
Let's pass large requests to page allocator like SLUB for better
maintenance of common code.

[ vbabka@xxxxxxx: Enable and disable irq around free_large_kmalloc().
  Do not lose NUMA locality in __do_kmalloc_node().
  Use folio_slab(folio)->slab_cache instead of virt_to_cache().
  Remove large sizes in __kmalloc_index(). ]
