From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2006 20:27:48 +0000 (-0800) Subject: [PATCH] vmalloc: optimization, cleanup, bugfixes X-Git-Tag: v2.6.19-rc6~43 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2b4ac44e7c7e16cf9411b81693ff3e604f332bf1;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git [PATCH] vmalloc: optimization, cleanup, bugfixes - reorder 'struct vm_struct' to speedup lookups on CPUS with small cache lines. The fields 'next,addr,size' should be now in the same cache line, to speedup lookups. - One minor cleanup in __get_vm_area_node() - Bugfixes in vmalloc_user() and vmalloc_32_user() NULL returns from __vmalloc() and __find_vm_area() were not tested.
