From 952b355760c196ec014dd0b6878f85a11496e3da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 23:51:57 +0000 Subject: dm io: use slab for struct io Allocate "struct io" from a slab. This patch changes dm-io, so that "struct io" is allocated from a slab cache. It used to be allocated with kmalloc. Allocating from a slab will be needed for the next patch, because it requires a special alignment of "struct io" and kmalloc cannot meet this alignment.
