mempool: add @gfp_mask to mempool_create_node()

2012-06-25T09:53:47Z

mempool_create_node() currently assumes %GFP_KERNEL. Its only user, blk_init_free_list(), is about to be updated to use other allocation flags - add @gfp_mask argument to the function. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Hugh Dickins Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

mm: remove broken 'kzalloc' mempool

2009-09-22T14:17:35Z

The kzalloc mempool zeros items when they are initially allocated, but does not rezero used items that are returned to the pool. Consequently mempool_alloc()s may return non-zeroed memory. Since there are/were only two in-tree users for mempool_create_kzalloc_pool(), and 'fixing' this in a way that will re-zero used (but not new) items before first use is non-trivial, just remove it.

[PATCH] mempool: add mempool_create_slab_pool()

2006-03-26T16:57:00Z

Create a simple wrapper function for the common case of creating a slab-based mempool. Signed-off-by: Matthew Dobson Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] mempool: add kzalloc allocator

2006-03-26T16:56:59Z

Add another allocator to the common mempool code: a kzalloc/kfree allocator This will be used by the next patch in the series to replace a mempool-backed kzalloc allocator. It is also very likely that there will be more users in the future. Signed-off-by: Matthew Dobson Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] mempool: add kmalloc allocator

2006-03-26T16:56:59Z

Add another allocator to the common mempool code: a kmalloc/kfree allocator This will be used by the next patch in the series to replace duplicate mempool-backed kmalloc allocators in several places in the kernel. It is also very likely that there will be more users in the future. Signed-off-by: Matthew Dobson Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] mempool: add page allocator

2006-03-26T16:56:59Z

This will be used by the next patch in the series to replace duplicate mempool-backed page allocators in 2 places in the kernel. It is also likely that there will be more users in the future. Signed-off-by: Matthew Dobson Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1

2005-10-08T22:00:57Z

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t; - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

[PATCH] NUMA aware block device control structure allocation

2005-06-23T16:45:09Z

Patch to allocate the control structures for for ide devices on the node of the device itself (for NUMA systems). The patch depends on the Slab API change patch by Manfred and me (in mm) and the pcidev_to_node patch that I posted today. Does some realignment too. Signed-off-by: Justin M. Forbes Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Pravin Shelar Signed-off-by: Shobhit Dayal Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Mark "gfp" masks as "unsigned int" and use __nocast to find violations.

2005-03-28T09:42:49Z

This makes it hard(er) to mix argument orders by mistake for things like kmalloc() and friends, since silent integer promotion is now caught by sparse.
