From 2bce64858442149784f6c8803c9095a8556320a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 11:39:11 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] slub: Allow removal of slab caches during boot Serialize kmem_cache_create and kmem_cache_destroy using the slub_lock. Only possible after the use of the slub_lock during dynamic dma creation has been removed. Then make sure that the setup of the slab sysfs entries does not race with kmem_cache_create and kmem_cache destroy. If a slab cache is removed before we have setup sysfs then simply skip over the sysfs handling.
