btrfs: don't use slab cache for struct btrfs_delalloc_work Although we prefer to use separate caches for various structs, it seems better not to do that for struct btrfs_delalloc_work. Objects of this type are allocated rarely, when transaction commit calls btrfs_start_delalloc_roots, requesting delayed iputs. The objects are temporary (with some IO involved) but still allocated and freed within __start_delalloc_inodes. Memory allocation failure is handled. The slab cache is empty most of the time (observed on several systems), so if we need to allocate a new slab object, the first one has to allocate a full page. In a potential case of low memory conditions this might fail with higher probability compared to using the generic slab caches. Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
