 *
 * slab.c
 *    SLAB allocator definitions.
 *
 * SLAB is a MemoryContext implementation designed for cases where large
 * numbers of equally-sized objects are allocated (and freed).
 *
 *
 * Portions Copyright (c) 2017-2020, PostgreSQL Global Development Group
 *
 * IDENTIFICATION
 *    src/backend/utils/mmgr/slab.c
 *
 *
 * NOTE:
 *  The constant allocation size allows significant simplification and various
 *  optimizations over more general purpose allocators. The blocks are carved
 *  into chunks of exactly the right size (plus alignment), not wasting any
 *  memory.
 *
 *  The information about free chunks is maintained both at the block level and
 *  global (context) level. This is possible as the chunk size (and thus also
 *  the number of chunks per block) is fixed.
 *
 *  On each block, free chunks are tracked in a simple linked list. Contents
 *  of free chunks is replaced with an index of the next free chunk, forming
 *  a very simple linked list. Each block also contains a counter of free
 *  chunks. Combined with the local block-level freelist, it makes it trivial
 *  to eventually free the whole block.
 *
 *  At the context level, we use 'freelist' to track blocks ordered by number
 *  of free chunks, starting with blocks having a single allocated chunk, and
 *  with completely full blocks on the tail.
 *
 *  This also allows various optimizations - for example when searching for
 *  free chunk, the allocator reuses space from the fullest blocks first, in
 *  the hope that some of the less full blocks will get completely empty (and
 *  returned back to the OS).
 *
 *  For each block, we maintain pointer to the first free chunk - this is quite
 *  cheap and allows us to skip all the preceding used chunks, eliminating
 *  a significant number of lookups in many common usage patterns. In the worst
 *  case this performs as if the pointer was not maintained.
 *
 *  We cache the freelist index for the blocks with the fewest free chunks
 *  (minFreeChunks), so that we don't have to search the freelist on every
 *  SlabAlloc() call, which is quite expensive.
