The patch titled SLUB: reduce antifrag max order has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is slub-reduce-antifrag-max-order.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: SLUB: reduce antifrag max order From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> My test systems fails to obtain order 4 allocs after prolonged use. So the Antifragmentation patches are unable to guarantee order 4 blocks after a while (straight compile, edit load). Reduce the the max order if antifrag measures are detected to 3.
