I am not sure if the linux slab allocator differs from the Solaris one in
any significant way, but there is a writeup on the latter in Vahalia's
"UNIX Internals, the New Frontiers" (sec 12.10) and it references a 1994
paper by Bonwick:
http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/bos94/bonwick.html
(passworded for USENIX members)
Hope that helps,
