From: Ezequiel Garcia Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2012 12:04:31 +0000 (-0300) Subject: mm/slob: Use free_page instead of put_page for page-size kmalloc allocations X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8cf9864b1382851d90c7c505f8441c8928f1469e;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git mm/slob: Use free_page instead of put_page for page-size kmalloc allocations When freeing objects, the slob allocator currently free empty pages calling __free_pages(). However, page-size kmallocs are disposed using put_page() instead. It makes no sense to call put_page() for kernel pages that are provided by the object allocator, so we shouldn't be doing this ourselves.
