[PATCH 1/5] mm/slab_common: move kmem_cache definition to internal header

From: Joonsoo Kim
Date: Thu Aug 21 2014 - 04:09:40 EST


We don't need to keep kmem_cache definition in include/linux/slab.h
if we don't need to inline kmem_cache_size(). According to my
code inspection, this function is only called at lc_create() in
lib/lru_cache.c which may be called at initialization phase of something,
so we don't need to inline it. Therfore, move it to slab_common.c and
move kmem_cache definition to internal header.

After this change, we can change kmem_cache definition easily without
full kernel build. For instance, we can turn on/off CONFIG_SLUB_STATS
without full kernel build.
