From c4089f98e943ff445665dea49c190657b34ccffe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcin Slusarz Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2011 21:39:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] slub: reduce overhead of slub_debug slub checks for poison one byte by one, which is highly inefficient and shows up frequently as a highest cpu-eater in perf top. Joining reads gives nice speedup: (Compiling some project with different options) make -j12 make clean slub_debug disabled: 1m 27s 1.2 s slub_debug enabled: 1m 46s 7.6 s slub_debug enabled + this patch: 1m 33s 3.2 s check_bytes still shows up high, but not always at the top.
