2 * SLOB Allocator: Simple List Of Blocks
4 * Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> 12/30/03
6 * NUMA support by Paul Mundt, 2007.
8 * How SLOB works:
10 * The core of SLOB is a traditional K&R style heap allocator, with
11 * support for returning aligned objects. The granularity of this
12 * allocator is as little as 2 bytes, however typically most architectures
13 * will require 4 bytes on 32-bit and 8 bytes on 64-bit.
15 * The slob heap is a linked list of pages from alloc_pages(), and
16 * within each page, there is a singly-linked list of free blocks (slob_t).
17 * The heap is grown on demand and allocation from the heap is currently
18 * first-fit.
20 * Above this is an implementation of kmalloc/kfree. Blocks returned
21 * from kmalloc are prepended with a 4-byte header with the kmalloc size.
22 * If kmalloc is asked for objects of PAGE_SIZE or larger, it calls
23 * alloc_pages() directly, allocating compound pages so the page order
24 * does not have to be separately tracked, and also stores the exact
25 * allocation size in page->private so that it can be used to accurately
26 * provide ksize(). These objects are detected in kfree() because slob_page()
27 * is false for them.
29 * SLAB is emulated on top of SLOB by simply calling constructors and
30 * destructors for every SLAB allocation. Objects are returned with the
31 * 4-byte alignment unless the SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN flag is set, in which
32 * case the low-level allocator will fragment blocks to create the proper
33 * alignment. Again, objects of page-size or greater are allocated by
34 * calling alloc_pages(). As SLAB objects know their size, no separate
35 * size bookkeeping is necessary and there is essentially no allocation
36 * space overhead, and compound pages aren't needed for multi-page
37 * allocations.
39 * NUMA support in SLOB is fairly simplistic, pushing most of the real
40 * logic down to the page allocator, and simply doing the node accounting
41 * on the upper levels. In the event that a node id is explicitly
42 * provided, alloc_pages_node() with the specified node id is used
43 * instead. The common case (or when the node id isn't explicitly provided)
44 * will default to the current node, as per numa_node_id().
46 * Node aware pages are still inserted in to the global freelist, and
47 * these are scanned for by matching against the node id encoded in the
48 * page flags. As a result, block allocations that can be satisfied from
49 * the freelist will only be done so on pages residing on the same node,
50 * in order to prevent random node placement.

64 * slob_block has a field 'units', which indicates size of block if +ve,
65 * or offset of next block if -ve (in SLOB_UNITs).
67 * Free blocks of size 1 unit simply contain the offset of the next block.
68 * Those with larger size contain their size in the first SLOB_UNIT of
69 * memory, and the offset of the next free block in the second SLOB_UNIT.
