That's what I thoguht too -- but Steven tried making the pool 1/4th the
size and it still failed. OTOH, he tried 2.5.27-rmap, which uses the
*same mempool patch* and he had no problem with the monster 128KB
allocation. Maybe it was all luck. :) I can't yet see anything in the
slablru patch that has anything to do with it...
On another note -- Steven did point out that the slablru patch has a
patchbug with regards to dquot.c. I think this error is also in Ed's
June 5th patch (at least as posted), and I didn't catch it.
I believe that:
shrink_dqcache_memory(int priority, unsigned int gfp_mask)
needs to be
age_dqcache_memory(kmem_cache_t *cachep, int entries, int gfp_mask)
in dquot.c. It'll be tested and fixed on the next go. :)
Best regards,
Craig Kulesa
