Oh, well, I understand it's not Debian's problem, but my PC is an embedded system, so in principle the embedded feature and SLOB should definitely work. So should I take action myself in order to forward this upstream ??

So far as I know, SLOB is only suitable for really small systems, probably not any PC and certainly not embedded systems in general. > So should I take action myself in order to forward this upstream ??

Bug#800154: linux-source: custom built embedded kernel with slob-allocation runs too unstable, boot-problems
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Package: linux-source Version: 3.16+63 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I have been using the custom aedl-kernel [config-3.16.7-ckt11-aedl.xz] on my dualcore thin-client and tried to continue using it on my new PC, but it is not really workable. It's behaving in an unstable way, for example when copying the contents of one compressed BTRFS-partition to another one, it panicked. More often that, there are boot-problems, especially upon a kernel-panic reboot hangs almost every time, it may be connected with the LZO-compressed root-partition, but that normally works. I rebuilt the kernel, leaving the embedded-feature away and using slub instead [config-3.16.7-ckt11-adll.xz], it seems to be doing well so far. I also compared that with the stock-kernel using phoronix-test-metrics, but at least in the complex system test, there is not very much gain. This may be due to the test being a non-interactive server-test mostly. Personally and subjectively I prefer custom built AMD low-latency-kernels on the desktop, because, they make the system feel more responsive.
