From eb07c4f39c3e858a7d0cc4bb15b8a304f83f0497 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlastimil Babka Date: Tue, 23 May 2023 09:06:34 +0200 Subject: mm/slab: rename CONFIG_SLAB to CONFIG_SLAB_DEPRECATED As discussed at LSF/MM [1] [2] and with no objections raised there, deprecate the SLAB allocator. Rename the user-visible option so that users with CONFIG_SLAB=y get a new prompt with explanation during make oldconfig, while make olddefconfig will just switch to SLUB. In all defconfigs with CONFIG_SLAB=y remove the line so those also switch to SLUB. Regressions due to the switch should be reported to linux-mm and slab maintainers.
