Hi,
while looking through the program of LPC, I have seen a proposal for a talk called "SLAM: a mutable slab allocator" [1].
As there was no reference given to the code-base, I went searching on the Wild Wild Web and found a thread called "[UnifiedV4 00/16] The Unified slab allocator (V4)" posted to LKML. It looks to me that these patches went to Pekka's slab/for-next GIT-branch [2]. I am not sure if this is "SLAM".
[1] says: "I have worked as a kernel developer at Google for 3 1/2 years...", not sure if David Rientjes email-address at Google is still valid, thus I am sending my request to slab ML and Mainrtainers.
Can someone say where to get more informations on SLAM? The commits in slab/for-next look also interesting to me, can someone give an overview what can be expected in 2.6.38? (I would give linux-next a try).
Thanks in advance for answering my questions.
Kind Regards, - Sedat -
