Hi,

This is the slab part of the kmem limitation mechanism in its last form.  I
would like to have comments on it to see if we can agree in its form. I
consider it mature, since it doesn't change much in essence over the last
forms. However, I would still prefer to defer merging it and merge the
stack-only patchset first (even if inside the same merge window). That patchset
contains most of the infrastructure needed here, and merging them separately
would not only reduce the complexity for reviewers, but allow us a chance to
have independent testing on them both. I would also likely benefit from some
extra testing, to make sure the recent changes didn't introduce anything bad.

What is the status of the stack-only limitation patchset BTW? Does anybody oppose
to its merging?

Thanks.

Andrew said he would like to see the slab patches in a relatively mature
state first.

I do believe they are in such a state. There are bugs, that I am working
on - but I don't see anything that would change them significantly at
this point.

If Andrew is happy with what he saw in this thread, I could post those
again.
