[PATCH v3 4/5] slab: introduce byte sized index for the freelist of a slab

2013-12-02 Thread Joonsoo Kim
Currently, the freelist of a slab consist of unsigned int sized indexes. Since most of slabs have less number of objects than 256, large sized indexes is needless. For example, consider the minimum kmalloc slab. It's object size is 32 byte and it would consist of one page, so 256 indexes through
