From 65c02d4cfbbd10188ded3d6577922ab034d943ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Wed, 9 May 2007 02:32:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] SLUB: add support for dynamic cacheline size determination SLUB currently assumes that the cacheline size is static. However, i386 f.e. supports dynamic cache line size determination. Use cache_line_size() instead of L1_CACHE_BYTES in the allocator. That also explains the purpose of SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN. So we will need to keep that one around to allow dynamic aligning of objects depending on boot determination of the cache line size.
