From 07ed76b2a085a31f427c2a912a562627947dc7de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jack Steiner Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2006 21:55:46 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] slab: allocate larger cache_cache if order 0 fails kmem_cache_init() incorrectly assumes that the cache_cache object will fit in an order 0 allocation. On very large systems, this is not true. Change the code to try larger order allocations if order 0 fails.
