Subject: Fix almost-infinite slab cache growing
|
|
References: bnc#554081
|
|
Patch-mainline: never
|
|
|
|
If we get into cache_alloc_refill() with must_refill set, we end up in an
|
|
almost endless loop adding more and more pages to the slab. The loop can be
|
|
broken only by a failure to allocate more pages or an interrupt refilling the
|
|
slab's allocation cache.
|
|
|
|
Fix the issue by jumping to a more appropriate place when the allocation cache
|
|
is not refilled by an interrupt.
