Subject: [PATCH 00/12] Introduce CONFIG_SLUB_TINY and deprecate SLOB
Date:   Mon, 21 Nov 2022 18:11:50 +0100

Hi,

this continues the discussion from [1]. Reasons to remove SLOB are
outlined there and no-one has objected so far. The last patch of this
series therefore deprecates CONFIG_SLOB and updates all the defconfigs
using CONFIG_SLOB=y in the tree.

There is a k210 board with 8MB RAM where switching to SLUB caused issues
[2] and the lkp bot wasn't also happy about code bloat [3]. To address
both, this series introduces CONFIG_SLUB_TINY to perform some rather
low-hanging fruit modifications to SLUB to reduce its memory overhead.
This seems to have been successful at least in the k210 case [4]. I
consider this as an acceptable tradeoff for getting rid of SLOB.

The series is also available in git:
