The kernel developers did not share there insight into this with me. I'd guess from what I heard from them that SLUB is easier to debug and performing better than the old allocator.
I understand the reasoning why they do not provide special SLAB flavours, though: this would double the number of kernel flavours as every flavour in existence needs to be provided as a SLUB and a SLAB one. Now I already suggested to only provide SLAB flavours for generic variants, but the kernel developers repeatedly called me insane for the call for different flavours where only the memory allocator differs. -- [gutsy] fglrx breaks over suspend/resume https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121653 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
