From 80f08c191f6c9563641291bea80657a3b9faabf0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2011 12:25:55 -0500 Subject: slub: Avoid disabling interrupts in free slowpath Disabling interrupts can be avoided now. However, list operation still require disabling interrupts since allocations can occur from interrupt contexts and there is no way to perform atomic list operations. The acquition of the list_lock therefore has to disable interrupts as well. Dropping interrupt handling significantly simplifies the slowpath.
