From 42a9fdbb12ac6c027b4b91ab9b5a60aa3a834489 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 01:26:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] SLUB: Optimize cacheline use for zeroing We touch a cacheline in the kmem_cache structure for zeroing to get the size. However, the hot paths in slab_alloc and slab_free do not reference any other fields in kmem_cache, so we may have to just bring in the cacheline for this one access. Add a new field to kmem_cache_cpu that contains the object size. That cacheline must already be used in the hotpaths. So we save one cacheline on every slab_alloc if we zero. We need to update the kmem_cache_cpu object size if an aliasing operation changes the objsize of an non debug slab.
