Subject: [PATCH] slab: cache_grow cleanup
From: Pekka Enberg <penberg@...helsinki.fi>
The current implementation of cache_grow() has to either (1) use pre-allocated
memory for the slab or (2) allocate the memory itself which makes the error
paths messy. Move __GFP_NO_GROW and __GFP_WAIT processing to kmem_getpages()
and introduce a new __cache_grow() variant that expects the memory for a new
slab to always be handed over in the 'objp' parameter.
