Subject: [PATCH] mempool: add kzalloc allocator
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.17-rc1~606
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f183323d3822dee4d7b3147a59b6e8987fe201e0;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] mempool: add kzalloc allocator

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.
