From: Dimitri Gorokhovik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Recent cleanup of slab.h broke SLOB allocator: the routine kmem_cache_init has now the __init attribute for both slab.c and slob.c. This routine cannot be removed after init in the case of slob.c -- it serves as a timer callback.
Provide a separate timer callback routine, call it once from kmem_cache_init, keep the __init attribute on the latter.
