From ea817398e68dfa25612229fda7fc74580cf915fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Badari Pulavarty Date: Sun, 27 Aug 2006 01:23:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Manage jbd allocations from its own slabs JBD currently allocates commit and frozen buffers from slabs. With CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG, its possible for an allocation to cross the page boundary causing IO problems. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200127 So, instead of allocating these from regular slabs - manage allocation from its own slabs and disable slab debug for these slabs.
