Memory allocators may disable interrupts or preemption as part of the allocation and freeing process. For PREEMPT_RT it is important that these sections remain deterministic and short and therefore don't depend on the size of the memory to allocate/ free or the inner state of the algorithm. Until v3.12-RT the SLAB allocator was an option but involved several changes to meet all the requirements. The SLUB design fits better with PREEMPT_RT model and so the SLAB patches were dropped in the 3.12-RT patchset. Comparing the two allocator, SLUB outperformed SLAB in both throughput (time needed to allocate and free memory) and the maximal latency of the system measured with cyclictest during hackbench. SLOB was never evaluated since it was unlikely that it preforms better than SLAB. During a quick test, the kernel crashed with SLOB enabled during boot. Disable SLAB and SLOB on PREEMPT_RT.
