    ext4: Use slab allocator for sub-page sized allocations · d2eecb03
    Theodore Ts'o authored
    Now that the SLUB seems to be fixed so that it respects the requested
    alignment, use kmem_cache_alloc() to allocator if the block size of
    the buffer heads to be allocated is less than the page size.
    Previously, we were using 16k page on a Power system for each buffer,
    even when the file system was using 1k or 4k block size.
