I have a serious problem with user memory fragmentation on my system (Lantronix EDS2100 with ColdFire 5208 with 8 MB RAM and 8 MB flash). I use the uClinux that comes with the Lantronix Linux SDK (ftp://ftp.lantronix.com/pub/Linux_SDK/SDK2_0_0_3/linux_sdk_2_0_0_3.iso).
I tried SLOB; my system never boots up. I tried SLUB; it made no difference. So, I'm back to the default SLAB memory allocator. My impression is that SLAB/SLOB/SLUB affect kernel memory allocations only anyway, not user memory allocations. Which would explain why it does not help.
I use XIP and no tmpfs to reduce RAM use. gcc compiles everything with -Os.
