/*
 * SLOB Allocator: Simple List Of Blocks
 *
 * Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> 12/30/03
 *
 * How SLOB works:
 *
 * The core of SLOB is a traditional K&R style heap allocator, with
 * support for returning aligned objects. The granularity of this
 * allocator is 8 bytes on x86, though it's perhaps possible to reduce
 * this to 4 if it's deemed worth the effort. The slob heap is a
 * singly-linked list of pages from __get_free_page, grown on demand
 * and allocation from the heap is currently first-fit.
 *
 * Above this is an implementation of kmalloc/kfree. Blocks returned
 * from kmalloc are 8-byte aligned and prepended with a 8-byte header.
 * If kmalloc is asked for objects of PAGE_SIZE or larger, it calls
 * __get_free_pages directly so that it can return page-aligned blocks
 * and keeps a linked list of such pages and their orders. These
 * objects are detected in kfree() by their page alignment.
 *
 * SLAB is emulated on top of SLOB by simply calling constructors and
 * destructors for every SLAB allocation. Objects are returned with
 * the 8-byte alignment unless the SLAB_MUST_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 __get_free_pages. As SLAB objects know
 * their size, no separate size bookkeeping is necessary and there is
 * essentially no allocation space overhead.
