/*
 * The SLAB allocator is closely modelled after Opensolaris SLAB allocator
 * http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix01/full_papers/bonwick/bonwick_html/
 *
 * with the following exceptions:
 *   - empty SLABS are deallocated immediately 
 *     (in Linux they are kept in linked list, in Solaris ???)
 *   - empty magazines are deallocated when not needed
 *     (in Solaris they are held in linked list in slab cache)
 *
 *   Following features are not currently supported but would be easy to do:
 *   - cache coloring
 *   - dynamic magazine growing (different magazine sizes are already
 *     supported, but we would need to adjust allocating strategy)
 *
 * The SLAB allocator supports per-CPU caches ('magazines') to facilitate
 * good SMP scaling. 
 *
 * When a new object is being allocated, it is first checked, if it is 
 * available in CPU-bound magazine. If it is not found there, it is
 * allocated from CPU-shared SLAB - if partial full is found, it is used,
 * otherwise a new one is allocated. 
 *
 * When an object is being deallocated, it is put to CPU-bound magazine.
 * If there is no such magazine, new one is allocated (if it fails, 
 * the object is deallocated into SLAB). If the magazine is full, it is
 * put into cpu-shared list of magazines and new one is allocated.
 *
 * The CPU-bound magazine is actually a pair of magazine to avoid
 * thrashing when somebody is allocating/deallocating 1 item at the magazine
 * size boundary. LIFO order is enforced, which should avoid fragmentation
 * as much as possible. 
 *  
 * Every cache contains list of full slabs and list of partialy full slabs.
 * Empty SLABS are immediately freed (thrashing will be avoided because
 * of magazines). 
 *
 * The SLAB information structure is kept inside the data area, if possible.
 * The cache can be marked that it should not use magazines. This is used
 * only for SLAB related caches to avoid deadlocks and infinite recursion
 * (the SLAB allocator uses itself for allocating all it's control structures).
 *
 * The SLAB allocator allocates lot of space and does not free it. When
 * frame allocator fails to allocate the frame, it calls slab_reclaim().
 * It tries 'light reclaim' first, then brutal reclaim. The light reclaim
 * releases slabs from cpu-shared magazine-list, until at least 1 slab 
 * is deallocated in each cache (this algorithm should probably change).
 * The brutal reclaim removes all cached objects, even from CPU-bound
 * magazines.
 *
 * TODO: For better CPU-scaling the magazine allocation strategy should
 * be extended. Currently, if the cache does not have magazine, it asks
 * for non-cpu cached magazine cache to provide one. It might be feasible
 * to add cpu-cached magazine cache (which would allocate it's magazines
 * from non-cpu-cached mag. cache). This would provide a nice per-cpu
 * buffer. The other possibility is to use the per-cache 
 * 'empty-magazine-list', which decreases competing for 1 per-system
 * magazine cache.
 *
 * - it might be good to add granularity of locks even to slab level,
 *   we could then try_spinlock over all partial slabs and thus improve
 *   scalability even on slab level
