linux-stable.git/mm/allocpercpu.c, branch linux-2.6.19.y Linux kernel stable tree [PATCH] Extract the allocpercpu functions from the slab allocator 2006-09-26T15:48:51+00:00 Christoph Lameter clameter@sgi.com 2006-09-26T06:31:50+00:00 d00bcc98d7ec2c87391c9d9e1cca519ef64d33ef The allocpercpu functions __alloc_percpu and __free_percpu() are heavily using the slab allocator. However, they are conceptually slab. This also simplifies SLOB (at this point slob may be broken in mm. This should fix it).

simplifies SLOB (at this point slob may be broken in mm.  This should fix
