[$] What's next for the SLUB allocator

There are two fundamental levels of memory allocator in the Linux kernel:the page allocator, which allocates memory in units of pages, and the slaballocator, which allocates arbitrarily-sized chunks that are usually (butnot necessarily) smaller than a page. The slab allocator is the one thatstands behind commonly used kernel functions like kmalloc(). Atthe 2024 LinuxStorage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, slab maintainerVlastimil Babka provided an update on recent changes at the slab level anddiscussed the changes that are yet to come.
