The problem here is that you trade off more objects (SLUB) against more flexibility (SLOB). We need some experiments with 4M systems to see how this works out. It may be better to be able to allocate more objects. I estimate that we will have a need for about 30 active slabs (note the low number comes about because SLUB will merge similar slabs together into one) on such a system. Most of those can have two pages. So you will likely still be better off with SLUB than SLOB. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
