That's a fair point. Hugh dislikes it too, I see ;) What to do... I had been toying with the idea that if slqb (or slub) becomes "the" allocator, then we could rename it all back to slAb after replacing the existing slab? Or I could make it a 128 bit allocator and call it SLZB, which would definitely make it "the final" allocator ;) -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
