From fd76bab2fa6d8f3ef6b326a4c6ae442fa21d30a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pekka Enberg Date: Sun, 6 May 2007 14:48:40 -0700 Subject: slab: introduce krealloc This introduce krealloc() that reallocates memory while keeping the contents unchanged. The allocator avoids reallocation if the new size fits the currently used cache. I also added a simple non-optimized version for mm/slob.c for compatibility.
