This does not make sense. The fact that a slab has been merged is available from a field in the kmem_cache structure (aliases). These two macros are criteria for the slab allocators to perform merges. The merge decision is the slab allocators decision and not the decision of other kernel code. -- 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/
