The patch titled Memoryless nodes: Slab support has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was memoryless-nodes-slab-support.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Memoryless nodes: Slab support From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> Slab should not allocate control structures for nodes without memory. This may seem to work right now but its unreliable since not all allocations can fall back due to the use of GFP_THISNODE. Switching a few for_each_online_node's to N_NORMAL_MEMORY will allow us to only allocate for nodes that have regular memory.
