Hi,
We see an continuous increase in slab size of 1GB for slab cache named "size-16384" in a system.
The system is stable and sending/receiving bulk amounts of packets.
"/proc/slabinfo" Initial Value:
size-16384(DMA) 0 0 16384 1 4 : tunables 8 4 0 : slabdata 0 0 0
size-16384 9247 9247 16384 1 4 : tunables 8 4 0 : slabdata 9247 9247 0
"/proc/slabinfo" Final Value:
size-16384(DMA) 0 0 16384 1 4 : tunables 8 4 0 : slabdata 0 0 0
size-16384 75023 75023 16384 1 4 : tunables 8 4 0 : slabdata 75023 75023 0
Can anyone please tell us what kind of functions in kernel need to allocate an object for "size-16384"?
In what possible scenarios are these slab objects allocated?
Thanks,
Sowmya
