From b98938c373117043598002f197200d7ed08acd49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2008 22:28:36 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] bufferhead: revert constructor removal The constructor for buffer_head slabs was removed recently. We need the constructor back in slab defrag in order to insure that slab objects always have a definite state even before we allocated them. I think we mistakenly merged the removal of the constuctor into a cleanup patch. You (ie: akpm) had a test that showed that the removal of the constructor led to a small regression. The prior state makes things easier for slab defrag.
