From 039363f38bfe5f6281e9eae5e0518b11577d9d50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2012 15:25:10 -0500 Subject: mm, sl[aou]b: Extract common code for kmem_cache_create() Kmem_cache_create() does a variety of sanity checks but those vary depending on the allocator. Use the strictest tests and put them into a slab_common file. Make the tests conditional on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. This patch has the effect of adding sanity checks for SLUB and SLOB under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and removes the checks in SLAB for !CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.
