Note that confusingly a slab allocator can refer to:

1. A generic term for object pool based memory allocators: includes SLAB, SLOB and SLUB. When used in this context, it is usually in plural form (slab allocator**s**).
2. The SLAB allocator: a predecessor of the SLOB allocator.

The title *slab allocators* here refers to 1.
