From 5ca302c8e502ca53b7d75f12127ec0289904003a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Glauber Costa Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2013 10:18:18 +1000 Subject: list_lru: dynamically adjust node arrays MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit We currently use a compile-time constant to size the node array for the list_lru structure. Due to this, we don't need to allocate any memory at initialization time. But as a consequence, the structures that contain embedded list_lru lists can become way too big (the superblock for instance contains two of them). This patch aims at ameliorating this situation by dynamically allocating the node arrays with the firmware provided nr_node_ids.
