[PATCH 02/29] mm: slab allocation fairness

2007-02-21 Thread Peter Zijlstra
The slab allocator has some unfairness wrt gfp flags; when the slab cache is grown the gfp flags are used to allocate more memory, however when there is slab cache available (in partial or free slabs, per cpu caches or otherwise) gfp flags are ignored. Thus it is possible for less critical slab
