The granularity of this - * allocator is as little as 2 bytes, however typically most architectures - * will require 4 bytes on 32-bit and 8 bytes on 64-bit. - * - * The slob heap is a set of linked list of pages from alloc_pages(), - * and within each page, there is a singly-linked list of free blocks - * (slob_t). The heap is grown on demand. To reduce fragmentation, - * heap pages are segregated into three lists, with objects less than - * 256 bytes, objects less than 1024 bytes, and all other objects. - * - * Allocation from heap involves first searching for a page with - * sufficient free blocks (using a next-fit-like approach) followed by - * a first-fit scan of the page. Deallocation inserts objects back - * into the free list in address order, so this is effectively an - * address-ordered first fit. - * - * Above this is an implementation of kmalloc/kfree. Blocks returned - * from kmalloc are prepended with a 4-byte header with the kmalloc size. - * If kmalloc is asked for objects of PAGE_SIZE or larger, it calls - * alloc_pages() directly, allocating compound pages so the page order - * does not have to be separately tracked. - * These objects are detected in kfree() because folio_test_slab() - * is false for them. - * - * SLAB is emulated on top of SLOB by simply calling constructors and - * destructors for every SLAB allocation. Objects are returned with the - * 4-byte alignment unless the SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN flag is set, in which - * case the low-level allocator will fragment blocks to create the proper - * alignment. Again, objects of page-size or greater are allocated by - * calling alloc_pages(). As SLAB objects know their size, no separate - * size bookkeeping is necessary and there is essentially no allocation - * space overhead, and compound pages aren't needed for multi-page - * allocations. - * - * NUMA support in SLOB is fairly simplistic, pushing most of the real - * logic down to the page allocator, and simply doing the node accounting - * on the upper levels. In the event that a node id is explicitly - * provided, __alloc_pages_node() with the specified node id is used - * instead.

For the SLAB and SLUB allocators this was always possible so with SLOB gone, we can document it as supported. Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka Cc: Mike Rapoport Cc: Jonathan Corbet Cc: "Paul E.
