[RFC PATCH 31/47] mm: asi: Support for non-sensitive SLUB caches

From: Junaid Shahid
Date: Wed Feb 23 2022 - 00:28:31 EST


This adds support for allocating global and local non-sensitive objects
using the SLUB allocator. Similar to SLAB, per-process child caches are
created for locally non-sensitive allocations. This mechanism is based
on a modified form of the earlier implementation of per-memcg caches.
