From 1944972d3bb651474a5021c9da8d0166ae19f1eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2005 22:46:19 -0700 Subject: [SLAB] Introduce kmem_cache_name This is for use with slab users that pass a dynamically allocated slab name in kmem_cache_create, so that before destroying the slab one can retrieve the name and free its memory.

F.e. on a system with 512 processors and 256 nodes there will be 256*512 pagesets. If each pageset only holds 5 pages then we are talking about 655360 pages.With a 16K page size on IA64 this results in potentially 10 Gigabytes of memory being trapped in pagesets. The typical cases are much less for smaller systems but there is still the potential of memory being trapped in off node pagesets. Off node memory may be rarely used if local memory is available and so we may potentially have memory in seldom used pagesets without this patch. The slab allocator flushes its per cpu caches every 2 seconds. The following patch flushes the off node pageset caches in the same way by tying into the slab flush. The patch also changes /proc/zoneinfo to include the number of pages currently in each pageset.
