From 0ceaacc9785fedc500e19b024d606a82a23f5372 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Sun, 4 Dec 2005 13:55:25 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Fix up per-cpu page batch sizes The code to clamp batch sizes to 2^n - 1 went missing and an extra check got added, which must have been a hunk of the "higer order pcp batch refills" work sneaking in.
