Subject: pool: Improve memory usage for devices which can't cross boundaries
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc1~780^2
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e34f44b3517fe545f7fd45a8c2f6ee1e5e4432d3;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

pool: Improve memory usage for devices which can't cross boundaries

The previous implementation simply refused to allocate more than a
boundary's worth of data from an entire page.  Some users didn't know
this, so specified things like SMP_CACHE_BYTES, not realising the
horrible waste of memory that this was.  It's fairly easy to correct
this problem, just by ensuring we don't cross a boundary within a page.
This even helps drivers like EHCI (which can't cross a 4k boundary)
on machines with larger page sizes.
