   2  * SLOB Allocator: Simple List Of Blocks
   3  *
   4  * Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> 12/30/03
   5  *
   6  * How SLOB works:
   7  *
   8  * The core of SLOB is a traditional K&R style heap allocator, with
   9  * support for returning aligned objects. The granularity of this
  10  * allocator is 8 bytes on x86, though it's perhaps possible to reduce
  11  * this to 4 if it's deemed worth the effort. The slob heap is a
  12  * singly-linked list of pages from __get_free_page, grown on demand
  13  * and allocation from the heap is currently first-fit.
  14  *
  15  * Above this is an implementation of kmalloc/kfree. Blocks returned
  16  * from kmalloc are 8-byte aligned and prepended with a 8-byte header.
  17  * If kmalloc is asked for objects of PAGE_SIZE or larger, it calls
  18  * __get_free_pages directly so that it can return page-aligned blocks
  19  * and keeps a linked list of such pages and their orders. These
  20  * objects are detected in kfree() by their page alignment.
  21  *
  22  * SLAB is emulated on top of SLOB by simply calling constructors and
  23  * destructors for every SLAB allocation. Objects are returned with
  24  * the 8-byte alignment unless the SLAB_MUST_HWCACHE_ALIGN flag is
  25  * set, in which case the low-level allocator will fragment blocks to
  26  * create the proper alignment. Again, objects of page-size or greater
  27  * are allocated by calling __get_free_pages. As SLAB objects know
  28  * their size, no separate size bookkeeping is necessary and there is
  29  * essentially no allocation space overhead.
