McKenney" , Ingo Molnar , Rusty Russell , Steven Rostedt Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Oleg Nesterov , Peter Zijlstra Subject: [PATCH 0/4] generic smp helpers vs kmalloc Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Steve's recent patches brought up the need (or rather, lack thereof) of the kmalloc() usage in smp_call_function_single(). This patch set does the same for the multi-cpu case and fully removes kmalloc. Tested on a Q9450 with a kernel build.
