From fe1200b63d158b28eef6d4de1e5b5f99c681ba2f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2009 12:05:07 -0500 Subject: SLUB: Introduce and use SLUB_MAX_SIZE and SLUB_PAGE_SHIFT constants As a preparational patch to bump up page allocator pass-through threshold, introduce two new constants SLUB_MAX_SIZE and SLUB_PAGE_SHIFT and convert mm/slub.c to use them.
