2 * UCW Library -- Fast Allocator for Fixed-Size Elements
4 * (c) 2007 Martin Mares <mj@ucw.cz>
6 * This software may be freely distributed and used according to the terms
7 * of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
11 * This allocator is optimized for intensive allocation and freeing of small
12 * blocks of identical sizes. System memory is allocated by multiples of the
13 * page size and it is returned back only when the whole eltpool is deleted.
15 * In the future, we can add returning of memory to the system and also cache
16 * coloring like in the SLAB allocator used in the Linux kernel.
