From 1888c9d265c11793e8ad1337fa9e12b2686cba38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2007 07:51:46 -0700 Subject: SLUB: Sort slab cache list and establish maximum objects for defrag slabs When we defragmenting slabs then it is advantageous to have all defragmentable slabs together at the beginning of the list so that we do not have to scan the complete list. When adding a slab cache put defragmentale caches first and others last. Determine the maximum number of objects in defragmentable slabs. This allows to size the allocation of arrays holding refs to these objects later.
