...My understanding of these decisions, and especially of the rationale behind commit 414cbd1e3d14 is limited. Thus if option 3 is the way to go, and the choices made by 414cbd1e3d14 were sub-optimal, I would feel much more comfortable if you provided a patch that revises and switches everything to kmem_chache. I would then just swap kmem_cache out with a dma_cache and my change would end up a straightforward and relatively clean one. So Sebastian, what shall we do? Regards, Halil > Sebastian >
