[PATCH 2/3] staging: lustre: lnet: Allocate MEs and small MDs in own kmem_caches

[James Simmons]

From: Bruno Faccini <bruno.faccini@xxxxxxxxx>

As part of LU-3848 and LU-4330, it has been discovered that LNET
MEs and small MDs (<=128 Bytes) are allocated in <size-128> kmem_cache
and thus can suffer quite frequent corruptions, from other modules or
Kernel parts, that occur there. To avoid this, MEs and small-MDs
specific kmem_cache have been created.
