SLOB is using the theoretically one-shot initiator to do garbage collection. The: if (size == PAGE_SIZE) /* trying to shrink arena? */ return 0; In slob_alloc() definitely looks very dodgy, now that I see it. What happens if some normal user asks to allocate exactly a page? Oh... I suppose it never gets into slob_alloc() to allocate the main piece of storage.
