The slab rewrite first allocates a page and then determines where it came from instead of requiring the page allocator to allocate from a certain node. Plus SLUB does not keep per cpu or per node object queues. So the problem does not occur in the same way. The per cpu slab in SLUB can contain objects from another node whereas SLAB can only put node local objects on its queues. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
