From 4af5a2f770cc8575840ccb1514ec76ecb592985c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:04:31 -0700 Subject: flex_array: add flex_array_shrink function Add a new function to the flex_array API: int flex_array_shrink(struct flex_array *fa) This function will free all unused second-level pages. Since elements are now poisoned if they are not allocated with __GFP_ZERO, it's possible to identify parts that consist solely of unused elements. flex_array_shrink() returns the number of pages freed.
