+Subject: [PATCH 189/323] mm: Allow only SLUB on RT
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.10/older/patches-5.10.204-rt100.tar.xz
+
+Memory allocation disables interrupts as part of the allocation and freeing
+process. For -RT it is important that this section remain short and don't
+depend on the size of the request or an internal state of the memory allocator.
+At the beginning the SLAB memory allocator was adopted for RT's needs and it
+required substantial changes. Later, with the addition of the SLUB memory
+allocator we adopted this one as well and the changes were smaller. More
+important, due to the design of the SLUB allocator it performs better and its
+worst case latency was smaller. In the end only SLUB remained supported.
+
+Disable SLAB and SLOB on -RT. Only SLUB is adopted to -RT needs.
