Hi again.. > Maybe your explanation is reasonable. > But I still can not understand why it put the last free object forward as > the first and the current released object as the second? Is it redundant? I forgot to add something. Current released object index (number) is recorded, so that it will be the first one taken when another allocation of the same object happens. Why? Because likely it is still "hot" in cpu cache.. thus improving perfomance. regards, Mulyadi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
