I will happily create a test kernel with SLAB .. what is your config file diff?
I have just choosed SLAB allocator in menuconfig. It has implied several other internal configurations changes.
Overall differencess (config file patch) is in attachment.
But my considerations about compiled in PATA etc., instead of modules, remain actual ;-).
OK .. I will create a 4.9.39 kernel with slub off and slab on later today. The only change I will make is to also turn slab_debug on (it will add things to the debuginfo file that Sarah created for the kernels).
WRT the other items in the kernel (modules or compiled directly), I would rather leave everything else alone as it is how the Red Hat kernels seem to be done .. unless someone has them actually causing a problem.
