For -RT it is important that this section remain short and don't +depend on the size of the request or an internal state of the memory allocator. +At the beginning the SLAB memory allocator was adopted for RT's needs and it +required substantial changes. Later, with the addition of the SLUB memory +allocator we adopted this one as well and the changes were smaller. More +important, due to the design of the SLUB allocator it performs better and its +worst case latency was smaller. In the end only SLUB remained supported. + +Disable SLAB and SLOB on -RT. Only SLUB is adopted to -RT needs. + +Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> +Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> +Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> +--- + init/Kconfig | 2 ++ + 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) + +diff --git a/init/Kconfig b/init/Kconfig +index 5f5c776ef192..d51c16a3f355 100644 +--- a/init/Kconfig ++++ b/init/Kconfig +@@ -1886,6 +1886,7 @@ choice + + config SLAB + bool "SLAB" ++ depends on !PREEMPT_RT + select HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR + help + The regular slab allocator that is established and known to work +@@ -1906,6 +1907,7 @@ config SLUB + config SLOB + depends on EXPERT + bool "SLOB (Simple Allocator)" ++ depends on !PREEMPT_RT + help + SLOB replaces the stock allocator with a drastically simpler + allocator.
