From 8da3430d8a7f885c2bf65121181d76c9d290a86e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sun, 6 May 2007 14:49:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] slab: NUMA kmem_cache diet Some NUMA machines have a big MAX_NUMNODES (possibly 1024), but fewer possible nodes. This patch dynamically sizes the 'struct kmem_cache' to allocate only needed space. I moved nodelists[] field at the end of struct kmem_cache, and use the following computation in kmem_cache_init() cache_cache.buffer_size = offsetof(struct kmem_cache, nodelists) + nr_node_ids * sizeof(struct kmem_list3 *); On my two nodes x86_64 machine, kmem_cache.obj_size is now 192 instead of 704 (This is because on x86_64, MAX_NUMNODES is 64) On bigger NUMA setups, this might reduce the gfporder of "cache_cache" Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Pekka Enberg Cc: Andy Whitcroft Cc: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Reading git-format-patch failed
