The aim is to combine the good parts of SLAB (lower-overhead and simpler percpu caching, compared to SLUB) without the past issues with arrays for freeing remote NUMA node objects and their flushing. It also allows more efficient kfree_rcu(), and cheaper object preallocations for cases where the exact number of objects is unknown, but an upper bound is. Currently VMAs and maple nodes are using this new caching, with a plan to enable it for all caches and remove the complex SLUB fastpath based on cpu (partial) slabs and this_cpu_cmpxchg_double(). (Vlastimil Babka, with Liam Howlett and Pedro Falcato for the maple tree changes) - Re-entrant kmalloc_nolock(), which allows opportunistic allocations from NMI and tracing/kprobe contexts. Building on prior page allocator and memcg changes, it will result in removing BPF-specific caches on top of slab (Alexei Starovoitov) - Various fixes and cleanups.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
