[PATCH 12/16] mm/slab: do not change cache size if debug pagealloc isn't possible

From: Joonsoo Kim
Date: Thu Jan 14 2016 - 00:26:46 EST


We can fail to setup off slab in some conditions. Even in this case,
debug pagealloc increases cache size to PAGE_SIZE in advance and
it is waste because debug pagealloc cannot work for it when it isn't
the off slab. To improve this situation, this patch checks first
that this cache with increased size is suitable for off slab.
It actually increases cache size when it is suitable for off-slab,
so possible waste is removed.
