From b56efcf0a45aa7fc32de90d5f9838541082fbc19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2011 19:04:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] slab: shrink sizeof(struct kmem_cache) Reduce high order allocations for some setups. (NR_CPUS=4096 -> we need 64KB per kmem_cache struct) We now allocate exact needed size (using nr_cpu_ids and nr_node_ids) This also makes code a bit smaller on x86_64, since some field offsets are less than the 127 limit : Before patch : # size mm/slab.o text data bss dec hex filename 22605 361665 32 384302 5dd2e mm/slab.o After patch : # size mm/slab.o text data bss dec hex filename 22349 353473 8224 384046 5dc2e mm/slab.o CC: Andrew Morton Reported-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg --- include/linux/slab_def.h | 26 +++++++++++++------------- mm/slab.c | 10 ++++++---- 2 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/linux/slab_def.h b/include/linux/slab_def.h index d7f63112f63c..d00e0bacda93 100644 --- a/include/linux/slab_def.h +++ b/include/linux/slab_def.h @@ -24,21 +24,19 @@ */ struct kmem_cache { -/* 1) per-cpu data, touched during every alloc/free */ - struct array_cache *array[NR_CPUS]; -/* 2) Cache tunables.
