Subject: [PATCH 0/2] generic smp helpers vs kmalloc
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
List-ID: <linux-kernel.vger.kernel.org>
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().

The first patch, removes the need for kmalloc() for smp_call_function() too.
The second patch then fully removes the kmalloc() usage.

Patches have been compile and boot tested on a dual core -- so no real
stress testing.
