It makes the code easier to review and reduces errors by establishing a standard way of defining a slab with minimal effort. You can still do the old style and create the kmem_cache_create parameter monsters that span lots of lines. KMEM_CACHE can do it just by specifying two parameters.
Yes and if you look at existing callers of kmem_cache_create(), you'll notice that most of them work _exactly_ the way the macro does. Most of the time you want to use default alignment and not define a constructor. - 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/
