Maybe something like the following would work? - void clear_indegree(struct indegree *); Empties the slab. The slab can be reused with the same stride without calling init_indegree again or can be reconfigured to a different stride by calling init_indegree_with_stride. Call this function before the slab falls out of scope to avoid leaking memory.
