From: Ravikiran G Thirumalai <kiran@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2002 18:05:10 +0530 Here's a patchset to enable networking mibs to use kmalloc_percpu instead of the traditional padded NR_CPUS arrays. Advantages: 1. Removes NR_CPUS bloat due to static definition 2. Can support node local allocation 3. Will work with modules I totally support this work. Once the kmalloc percpu bits hit Linus's tree, just retransmit these diffs to me privately and I'll put them into my net-2.5 tree. Thanks. |
