From dfce8648d64c07eade40d456d59cb4bfcbba008c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 04:03:25 -0700 Subject: SLUB: do proper locking during dma slab creation We modify the kmalloc_cache_dma[] array without proper locking. Do the proper locking and undo the dma cache creation if another processor has already created it.
