From 3ded175a4b7a4548f3358dcf5f3ad65f63cdb4ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 03:06:44 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] slab: add transfer_objects() function slabr_objects() can be used to transfer objects between various object caches of the slab allocator. It is currently only used during __cache_alloc() to retrieve elements from the shared array. We will be using it soon to transfer elements from the alien caches to the remote shared array.
