If the slab contains sufficient memory, then kmalloc() works ok. However, if the slabs are empty, slab calls the memory allocator. This requires per-cpu data (NODE_DATA()) & the cpu dies. Also noted by Russ Anderson who had a very similar patch. Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner Signed-off-by: Tony Luck --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
