I have gone through GitHub history and also read CVS history. It was very helpful. Also got some information from the pkhmalloc code and some old papers. And, I have read and tried to understand the malloc internals. So, I have shared whatever I have learned on the blog but I haven't published it yet. I have sent the link to you @drijf.net for review as I don't want to convey any wrong understanding or misguiding the people. So, requesting you to review it whenever you have time. Thanks and regards, Neeraj
