[PATCH v3 03/16] slab: Ignore the cflgs bit in cache creation

From: Glauber Costa
Date: Tue Sep 18 2012 - 10:16:50 EST


No cache should ever pass that as a creation flag, since this bit is
used to mark an internal decision of the slab about object placement. We
can just ignore this bit if it happens to be passed (such as when
duplicating a cache in the kmem memcg patches)
