    [PATCH] cpuset memory spread slab cache hooks · b0196009
    Paul Jackson authored
    
    
    Change the kmem_cache_create calls for certain slab caches to support cpuset
    memory spreading.
    
    See the previous patches, cpuset_mem_spread, for an explanation of cpuset
    memory spreading, and cpuset_mem_spread_slab_cache for the slab cache support
    for memory spreading.
    
    The slab caches marked for now are: dentry_cache, inode_cache, some xfs slab
    caches, and buffer_head.  This list may change over time.  In particular,
    other file system types that are used extensively on large NUMA systems may
    want to allow for spreading their directory and inode slab cache entries.
