Hi,
I've uploaded a 'snapshot' of my Slab Allocator for the Linux kernel; its in ftp://ftp.lmh.ox.ac.uk/linux-kernel-patch-archive/ The files are; slab-0.1.readme slab-0.1.diff.gz
The allocator is still v. much in development (see the source and .readme). I'm looking for feed-back on whether the allocator is a good idea, and other constructive comments.
If you want to give the 'diff' a try (it's against v2.0.0, but should apply to later versions), please see the .readme before applying. Note, I've only updated the ~/arch and ~/include/asm files for i386, but the few changes should be easy enough for other archs.
Regards,
markhe

PS: Opps, just noticed I forget to add a warning to the .readme, that the allocator doesn't currently support DMA allocataions correctly.
