The "queue" that you are talking about is the freelist of a slab. It exist for each slab. SLAB uses a table of free entries there. The freelist is limited to a slab and thus the locality of the freelist is bound to the same page which avoids NUMA locality checks. -- 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/
