Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de> writes:How does that help? Will slabs move objects around to combine two partially filled slabs into nearly full one? If not consider this: - You create a slab for 4k objects based on 64k compound pages. (first of all that wastes you a page already for the meta infos) - Something movable allocates a 14 4k page in there making the slab partially filled. - Something unmovable alloactes a 4k page making the slab mixed and full. - Repeat until out of memory. OR - Userspace allocates a lot of memory in those slabs. - Userspace frees one in every 15 4k chunks. - Userspace forks 1000 times causing an unmovable task structure to appear in 1000 slabs.
