My current ideas on this subject matter is to get to a point where we have a generic slab allocator framework that allows us to provide any object layout we want. This will simplify handling new slab allocators that seems to crop up frequently. Maybe even allow the specification of the storage layout when the slab is created. Depending on how the memory is used there may be different object layouts that are most advantageous. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
