Subject: Re: SLUB 0:1 SLAB (OOM during massive parallel kernel builds)

Hi Christoph,

(I fixed linux-mm cc to kvack.org.)

Yeah, but we're _not failing_ when debugging is enabled. Thus, it's
likely, that the _failing_ (non-debug) case has potential for more
order 0 allocs, no? I am just guessing here but maybe it's
slab_order() behaving differently from calculate_slab_order() so that
we see more order 0 pressure in SLUB than SLAB?
