[PATCH] mm: mempool: Factor out mempool_refill()

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

 



This patch factors out mempool_refill() from mempool_resize(). It's reasonable
that the mempool user wants to refill the pool immdiately when it has chance
e.g. inside a sleepible context, so that next time in the IRQ context the pool
would have much more available elements to allocate.

After the refactor, mempool_refill() can also executes with mempool_resize()
/mempool_alloc/mempool_free() or another mempool_refill().
