Subject[PATCH RT 02/02] SLOB - break SLOB up by caches
From
Date
This patch breaks up the SLOBs by caches, and also uses the mem_map
pages to find the cache descriptor.


Once again:

TODO: IMPORTANT!!!

1) I haven't cleaned up the kmem_cache_destroy yet, so every time that
happens, there's a memory leak.

2) I need to test on SMP.

+ * Modified by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> 12/20/05
+ *
+ * Now we take advantage of the kmem_cache usage. I've removed
+ * the global slobfree, and created one for every cache.
+ *
+ * For kmalloc/kfree I've reintroduced the usage of cache_sizes,
+ * but only for sizes 32 through PAGE_SIZE >> 1 by order of 2.
+ *
+ * Having the SLOB alloc per size of the cache should speed things up
+ * greatly, not only by making the search paths smaller, but also by
+ * keeping all the caches of similar units. This way the fragmentation
+ * should not be as big of a problem.
