Yes it does but the information is not standardized between the allocators yet. Coul you unify that? Come out with a struct page overlay that is as much the same as possible. Then kfree can also be unified because the lookup is always the same. That way you can move kfree into slab_common and avoid modifying multiple allocators. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
