*
* The core of SLOB is a traditional K&R style heap allocator, with
* support for returning aligned objects. The granularity of this
- * allocator is 8 bytes on x86, though it's perhaps possible to reduce
- * this to 4 if it's deemed worth the effort. The slob heap is a
- * singly-linked list of pages from __get_free_page, grown on demand
- * and allocation from the heap is currently first-fit.
+ * allocator is 4 bytes on 32-bit and 8 bytes on 64-bit, though it
+ * could be as low as 2 if the compiler alignment requirements allow.
+ *
+ * The slob heap is a linked list of pages from __get_free_page, and
+ * within each page, there is a singly-linked list of free blocks (slob_t).
+ * The heap is grown on demand and allocation from the heap is currently
+ * first-fit.
*
* Above this is an implementation of kmalloc/kfree. Blocks returned
- * from kmalloc are 8-byte aligned and prepended with a 8-byte header.
+ * from kmalloc are 4-byte aligned and prepended with a 4-byte header.
* If kmalloc is asked for objects of PAGE_SIZE or larger, it calls
* __get_free_pages directly so that it can return page-aligned blocks
* and keeps a linked list of such pages and their orders. These
* objects are detected in kfree() by their page alignment.
*
* SLAB is emulated on top of SLOB by simply calling constructors and
- * destructors for every SLAB allocation. Objects are returned with
- * the 8-byte alignment unless the SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN flag is
- * set, in which case the low-level allocator will fragment blocks to
- * create the proper alignment. Again, objects of page-size or greater
- * are allocated by calling __get_free_pages. As SLAB objects know
- * their size, no separate size bookkeeping is necessary and there is
- * essentially no allocation space overhead.
