[PATCH] mempool - only init waitqueue in slow path
Here's a small patch to improve the performance of mempool_alloc by only initializing the wait queue when we're about to wait. Signed-off-by: Benjamin LaHaise <benjamin.c.lahaise@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
