But kmalloc() calls kmem_cache_alloc() in turn. So whether
you call kmalloc or kmem_cache_alloc it is getting allocated
from slab cache. Am I missing something here?
When you use kmalloc() it walks a linear table looking for
the matching general cache.
You can avoid this overhead by figuring out the general
cache that will be used at init time then feeding that
cachep directly to kmem_cache_alloc().
