As a followup to the "[PATCH] Make /proc/slabinfo 0400" thread, this is a patch series to randomize the order of object allocations within a page. It can be extended to SLAB and SLOB if desired. Mostly it's for benchmarking and discussion. It Boots For Me(tm). Patches 1-4 and 8 touch drivers/char/random.c, to add support for efficiently generating a series of uniform random integers in small ranges. Is this okay with Herbert & Matt? I did a bit of code cleanup while I was at it, but kept it to separate patches. Patches 4 and 7 are the heart of the new code, but I'd particularly like comments on patch 8, as I don't understand the kconfig stuff very well. Is the feature description good and are the control knobs adequate? Checkpatch complains about a too-short CONFIG option description on 8/8; I think it's spurious. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
