mainlining shenanigans
26e28d68b1
Creating a new cache for kernfs_iattrs. Currently, memory is allocated with kzalloc() which always gives aligned memory. On ARM, this is 64 byte aligned. To avoid the wastage of memory in aligning the size requested, a new cache for kernfs_iattrs is created. Size of struct kernfs_iattrs is 80 Bytes. On ARM, it will come in kmalloc-128 slab. and it will come in kmalloc-192 slab if debug info is enabled. Extra bytes taken 48 bytes. Total number of objects created : 4096 Total saving = 48*4096 = 192 KB After creating new slab(When debug info is enabled) : sh-3.2# cat /proc/slabinfo ... kernfs_iattrs_cache 4069 4096 128 32 1 : tunables 0 0 0 : slabdata 128 128 0 ... All testing has been done on ARM target.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
