From 05088e5de02d274efba5e902d6cc9618e5de671a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Canjiang Lu Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2018 17:05:20 -0700 Subject: mm/slub: remove obsolete comment The obsolete comment removed in this patch was introduced by 51df1142816e4 ("slub: Dynamically size kmalloc cache allocations"). I paste related modification from that commit: +#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA + /* + * Allocate kmem_cache_node properly from the kmem_cache slab. + * kmem_cache_node is separately allocated so no need to + * update any list pointers. + */ + temp_kmem_cache_node = kmem_cache_node; + kmem_cache_node = kmem_cache_alloc(kmem_cache, GFP_NOWAIT); + memcpy(kmem_cache_node, temp_kmem_cache_node, kmem_size); + + kmem_cache_bootstrap_fixup(kmem_cache_node); + + caches++; +#else + /* + * kmem_cache has kmem_cache_node embedded and we moved it! + * Update the list heads + */ + INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kmem_cache->local_node.partial); + list_splice(&temp_kmem_cache->local_node.partial, &kmem_cache->local_node.partial); +#ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG + INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kmem_cache->local_node.full); + list_splice(&temp_kmem_cache->local_node.full, &kmem_cache->local_node.full); +#endif As we can see there're used to distinguish the difference handling between NUMA/non-NUMA configuration in the original commit. I think it doesn't make any sense in current implementation which is placed above kmem_cache_node = bootstrap(&boot_kmem_cache_node); So maybe it's better to remove them now?
