I'm curious, was this a random config or do you actually use
CONFIG_SLOB && CONFIG_MEMCG?
Excluding CONFIG_MEMCG completely for slob seems harsh, but I would
prefer not littering the source with
#if defined(CONFIG_MEMCG) && (defined(CONFIG_SLAB) || defined(CONFIG_SLUB))
or
#if defined(CONFIG_MEMCG) && !defined(CONFIG_SLOB)
for such a special case. The #ifdefs are already out of hand in there.
Vladimir, what would you think of simply doing this?
