[PATCH v3 7/7] mm, slab: shorten kmalloc cache names for large sizes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Kmalloc cache names can get quite long for large object sizes, when the sizes
are expressed in bytes. Use 'k' and 'M' prefixes to make the names as short
as possible e.g. in /proc/slabinfo. This works, as we mostly use power-of-two
sizes, with exceptions only below 1k.

Example: 'kmalloc-4194304' becomes 'kmalloc-4M'
