[PATCH v3 5/9] slab: introduce alien_cache

From: Joonsoo Kim
Date: Tue Jul 01 2014 - 04:26:13 EST


Currently, we use array_cache for alien_cache. Although they are mostly
similar, there is one difference, that is, need for spinlock.
We don't need spinlock for array_cache itself, but to use array_cache for
alien_cache, array_cache structure should have spinlock. This is needless
overhead, so removing it would be better. This patch prepare it by
introducing alien_cache and using it. In the following patch,
we remove spinlock in array_cache.
