SLUB can easily be made to not use higher order pages. If the SLUB mobility patches are not merged then higher order page use can be explicitly enabled via passing the following to the kernel on boot slub_max_order=<desired max order> If they are merged then the higher order page use can be disabled in case of trouble via slub_max_order=0 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
