Why would we need to go back to SLAB if we have not switched to SLUB? SLUB is marked experimental and not the default. The only problems that I am aware of is(or was) the issue with arches modifying page struct fields of slab pages that SLUB needs for its own operations. And I thought it was all fixed since the powerpc guys were quiet and the patch was in for i386. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
