From 6286ae97d10ea2b5cd90532163797ab217bfdbdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Fri, 3 May 2013 15:43:18 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] slab: Return NULL for oversized allocations The inline path seems to have changed the SLAB behavior for very large kmalloc allocations with commit e3366016 ("slab: Use common kmalloc_index/kmalloc_size functions"). This patch restores the old behavior but also adds diagnostics so that we can figure where in the code these large allocations occur.
