That's a fair point. Hugh dislikes it too, I see ;) What to do... I had been toying with the idea that if slqb (or slub) becomes "the" allocator, then we could rename it all back to slAb after replacing the existing slab? Or I could make it a 128 bit allocator and call it SLZB, which would definitely make it "the final" allocator ;) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
