From eeb0bed5572b1282009dfc2635604df5a35d1a02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ilya Dryomov Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2014 20:08:21 +0200 Subject: libceph: add ceph_kv{malloc,free}() and switch to them Encapsulate kmalloc vs vmalloc memory allocation and freeing logic into two helpers, ceph_kvmalloc() and ceph_kvfree(), and switch to them. ceph_kvmalloc() kmalloc()'s a maximum of 8 pages, anything bigger is vmalloc()'ed with __GFP_HIGHMEM set. This changes the existing behaviour: - for buffers (ceph_buffer_new()), from trying to kmalloc() everything and using vmalloc() just as a fallback - for messages (ceph_msg_new()), from going to vmalloc() for anything bigger than a page - for messages (ceph_msg_new()), from disallowing vmalloc() to use high memory Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov Reviewed-by: Sage Weil --- include/linux/ceph/buffer.h | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'include/linux/ceph/buffer.h') diff --git a/include/linux/ceph/buffer.h b/include/linux/ceph/buffer.h index 58d19014068f..07ad423cc37f 100644 --- a/include/linux/ceph/buffer.h +++ b/include/linux/ceph/buffer.h @@ -17,7 +17,6 @@ struct ceph_buffer { struct kref kref; struct kvec vec; size_t alloc_len; - bool is_vmalloc; }; extern struct ceph_buffer *ceph_buffer_new(size_t len, gfp_t gfp); -- cgit v1.2.3
