The compound pages used by SLOB and SLUB are not managed in any way but the calls to kfree and kmalloc are converted to calls to the page allocator. There is no "management" by the slab allocators for these cases and its inaccurate to say that these are SLUB/SLOB objects since the allocators never deal with these objects. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
