[patch 2/2] slub: enforce cpuset restrictions for cpu slabs

From: David Rientjes
Date: Mon Mar 02 2009 - 23:50:46 EST


Slab allocations should respect cpuset hardwall restrictions. Otherwise,
it is possible for tasks in a cpuset to fill slabs allocated on mems
assigned to a disjoint cpuset.

When an allocation is attempted for a cpu slab that resides on a node that
is not allowed by a task's cpuset, an appropriate partial slab or new slab
is allocated.

If an allocation is intended for a particular node that the task does not
have access to because of its cpuset, an allowed partial slab is used
instead of failing.
