The current patches work, but introduce new limits on eg. number of network devices. Those have to be diverted to a lesser percpu allocator until we get dynamic percpu sizing. I do not want to block this work on that: you've shown how useful even small allocs can be in key places. Expect another set of patches this week. Thanks, Rusty. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
