From d2eecb03936878ec574ade5532fa83df7d75dde7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2009 10:36:20 -0500 Subject: ext4: Use slab allocator for sub-page sized allocations Now that the SLUB seems to be fixed so that it respects the requested alignment, use kmem_cache_alloc() to allocator if the block size of the buffer heads to be allocated is less than the page size. Previously, we were using 16k page on a Power system for each buffer, even when the file system was using 1k or 4k block size.
