From d6fef9da19b7acd46e04b7dbbba726b3febeca94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luke Yang Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 22:52:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] nommu: use compound page in slab allocator The earlier patch to consolidate mmu and nommu page allocation and refcounting by using compound pages for nommu allocations had a bug: kmalloc slabs who's pages were initially allocated by a non-__GFP_COMP allocator could be passed into mm/nommu.c kmalloc allocations which really wanted __GFP_COMP underlying pages. Fix that by having nommu pass __GFP_COMP to all higher order slab allocations.
