From 319d1e240683d37924ea8977c91730c3393fd453 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2008 19:11:41 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] slub: Drop fallback to page allocator method There is now a generic method of falling back to a slab page of minimal order. No need anymore for the fallback to kmalloc_large().
