Subject: [slub rfc1 05/12] slub: Extract get_freelist from __slab_alloc
Date: Fri, 02 Sep 2011 15:47:02 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110902204742.029988881@linux.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20110902204657.105194589@linux.com

[-- Attachment #1: extract_get_freelist --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2797 bytes --]

get_freelist retrieves free objects from the page freelist (put there by remote
frees) or deactivates a slab page if no more objects are available.
