Absolutely. We even used to have something like this on a per-cpu basis but using generic SLAB is so much better for caching and NUMA that we got rid of that. Every sk_buff private "quicklist" pool implementation you see should essentially be NAK'd from the get go, it's meaningless and if it's really needed one should investigate why SKB allocations become such a problem instead of papering over the issue. :-) - 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/
