Common11 [11/20] Do slab aliasing call from common code

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

 



The slab aliasing logic causes some strange contortions in
slub. So add a call to deal with aliases to slab_common.c
but disable it for other slab allocators by providng stubs
that fail to create aliases.

Full general support for aliases will require additional
cleanup passes and more standardization of fields in
kmem_cache.

V1->V2:
	- Move kstrdup before kmem_cache_alias invocation.
