MAINTAINERS: add missing files to slab section

[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: add missing files to slab section

Posted by Lorenzo Stoakes 2 months, 2 weeks ago

The failslab implementation implements fault injection for slab allocations
so seems best suited to the slab section.

The mempool implementation uses slab in the backend, so that seems best
suited here also.

It has other backends too but perhaps slab is the most complex and David was
involved so seems acceptable.

I'll leave out this hunk as your other patch moves the header entry from MM
to MM-MISC (maybe it could be removing it there while at it?).

OK let's just fix this up later potentially, I don't want to create more
confusion at this stage :P

I guess with this being potentially used elsewhere, this actually makes sense.
