Basically the idea is that if the page count of a SLAB page is greater than one, SLAB will not use that page for new allocations. It's cheesy and the SLAB developers will likely barf at the idea, but it would certainly work. Back to real life, I think long term the thing to do is to just do the cached page allocator thing we'll be doing after Jarek's socket page patch is integrated, and for best performance the driver has to receive it's data into pages, only explicitly pulling the ethernet header into the linear area, like NIU does. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
