V1->V2:
- Incorporate glommers feedback.
- Add 2 more patches dealing with common code in kmem_cache_destroy
This is a series of patches that extracts common functionality from
slab allocators into a common code base. The intend is to standardize
as much as possible of the allocator behavior while keeping the
distinctive features of each allocator which are mostly due to their
storage format and serialization approaches.
This patchset makes a beginning by extracting common functionality in
kmem_cache_create() and kmem_cache_destroy(). However, there are
numerous other areas where such work could be beneficial:
Christoph,
I rebased my series on top of yours, and started testing. After some
debugging, some of the bugs were pinpointed to your code. I was going to
send patches for it in the belief the series was already in somewhere.
Since you are sending it again, I'll just point them here. If people
prefer, to avoid having you resend the series, I'll be happy to post mine.
