  • bba788195   mm: remove broken 'kzalloc' mempool ... Browse Code »

    The kzalloc mempool zeros items when they are initially allocated, but
    does not rezero used items that are returned to the pool. Consequently
    mempool_alloc()s may return non-zeroed memory.

    Since there are/were only two in-tree users for
    mempool_create_kzalloc_pool(), and 'fixing' this in a way that will
    re-zero used (but not new) items before first use is non-trivial, just
    remove it.

  • f183323d3   [PATCH] mempool: add kzalloc allocator ... Browse Code »

    Add another allocator to the common mempool code: a kzalloc/kfree allocator

    This will be used by the next patch in the series to replace a mempool-backed
    kzalloc allocator. It is also very likely that there will be more users in
    the future.

    Add another allocator to the common mempool code: a kmalloc/kfree allocator

    This will be used by the next patch in the series to replace duplicate
    mempool-backed kmalloc allocators in several places in the kernel. It is also
    very likely that there will be more users in the future.

  • dd0fc66fb   [PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1 ... Browse Code »

    - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

    - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
    the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
    generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
    typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

  • 1946089a1   [PATCH] NUMA aware block device control structure allocation ... Browse Code »

    Patch to allocate the control structures for for ide devices on the node of
    the device itself (for NUMA systems). The patch depends on the Slab API
    change patch by Manfred and me (in mm) and the pcidev_to_node patch that I
    posted today.

    Does some realignment too.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
