[PATCH 1/7] mm/slob: remove CONFIG_SLOB

From: Vlastimil Babka
Date: Fri Mar 10 2023 - 05:32:34 EST


Remove SLOB from Kconfig and Makefile. Everything under #ifdef
CONFIG_SLOB, and mm/slob.c is now dead code.

- Deprecated and scheduled for removal in a few cycles. SLUB

- SLOB replaces the stock allocator with a drastically simpler
- allocator. SLOB is generally more space efficient but
- does not perform as well on large systems.
