[PATCH v5 08/37] mm/slab: introduce SLAB_NO_OBJ_EXT to avoid obj_ext creation

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

 



Slab extension objects can't be allocated before slab infrastructure is
initialized. Some caches, like kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node, are created
before slab infrastructure is initialized. Objects from these caches can't
have extension objects. Introduce SLAB_NO_OBJ_EXT slab flag to mark these
caches and avoid creating extensions for objects allocated from these
slabs.
