SLAB cannot pack objects as dense as SLUB and they have different algorithm to make the choice of order. Thus the number of objects per slab may vary between SLAB and SLUB and therefore also the choice of order to store these objects. > Single data point: the CONFIG_SLAB boxes which I have access to here are > using order-0 for radix_tree_node, so they won't be failing in the way in > which Peter's machine is. Upstream SLUB uses order 0 allocations for the radix tree. MM varies because the use of higher order allocs is more loose if the mobility algorithms are found to be active: 2.6.23-rc8: Name Objects Objsize Space Slabs/Part/Cpu O/S O %Fr %Ef Flg\ radix_tree_node 14281 552 9.9M 2432/948/1 7 0 38 79 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
