There was throughput regression in RT compared to previous releases (without this series). The regression was (based on my testing) only visible in hackbench and was addressed by adding adaptiv spinning to RT-mutex. With that we almost back to what we had before :) =E2=80=A6 > The remaining patches to upstream from the RT tree are small ones related= to > KConfig.

With your rework CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL can be enabled in RT since v5.14-rc3-rt1. So it has been re-evaluated :) Regarding SLAB/SLOB: SLOB has a few design parts which are incompatible with RT (if my memory suits me so it was never attempted to get it working). SLAB was used before SLUB and required a lot of love. SLUB performed better compared to SLAB (in both throughput and latency) and after a while the SLAB patches were dropped. Sebastian
