If the idea is that we're going to support both SLAB and SLUB, some arches with one, some with another, some with either, for more than a single release, then I'm back to saying SLUB is being pushed in too early. I can understand people wanting pluggable schedulers, but pluggable slab allocators? Hugh -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
