Re: [PATCH v3 0/7] allocate cache entries from memory pool

From: Stefan Beller <hidden>

The memory pool design makes some tradeoffs. It is not meant to
be completely replace malloc / free as a general purpose
allocator, but rather used in scenarios where the benefit (faster
allocations, lower bookkeeping overhead) is worth the
tradeoffs (not able to free individual allocations).
So this is the actual stated design goal of this memory pool?
Fast&cheap allocation with little overhead for giving up individual frees?
We debated several approaches for what to do here
it would be awesome if the list could participate in the discussion
even if only read-only.
