So I have: if (unlikely((cont->parent) == NULL)) { mem = &init_mem_cgroup; page_cgroup_cache = KMEM_CACHE(page_cgroup, SLAB_PANIC); } else { mem = vmalloc(sizeof(struct mem_cgroup)); if (mem == NULL) return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); memset(mem, 0, sizeof(*mem)); } -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
