From 8e65d24c7caf2a4c69b3ae0ce170bf3082ba359f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 01:26:06 -0700 Subject: SLUB: Do not use page->mapping After moving the lockless_freelist to kmem_cache_cpu we no longer need page->lockless_freelist. Restructure the use of the struct page fields in such a way that we never touch the mapping field. This is turn allows us to remove the special casing of SLUB when determining the mapping of a page (needed for corner cases of virtual caches machines that need to flush caches of processors mapping a page).
