From caeab084deb61cd2d51cb8facc0e894a5b406aa4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 23:57:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] slub page alloc fallback: Enable interrupts for GFP_WAIT. The fallback path needs to enable interrupts like done for the other page allocator calls. This was not necessary with the alternate fast path since we handled irq enable/disable in the slow path. The regular fastpath handles irq enable/disable around calls to the slow path so we need to restore the proper status before calling the page allocator from the slowpath.
