Multiple Block Allocation:
- Main outstanding issue is still need for better documentation of the
code.
- Aneesh has marked the places that need explanation with fixme, and
Alex will be adding the needed comments. If this gets done quickly,
we can try to push this feature to 2.6.24
- Aneesh has asked for recommendations for a benchmark to run which
will test the mballoc allocator. Mingming suggested using dd and
dbench, as was done in the past for basic mballoc patches. To test
the in-core preallocation, kernel untar tests. Look at the file
fragmentation after running the test.
Currently, the mballoc feature is not compatible with the uninit_groups
feature. I have just tried a simple test which failed. Isn't this a
problem?
Another point that is not clear for me, is mballoc compatible with
delalloc now, or is there still a restriction?
I thought i had merged the patch from Andreas.

But i don't see it in mballoc-core.patch
Will update the mballoc patch
