struct xfrm_state is rather large (768 bytes here) and therefore wastes quite a lot of memory as it falls into the kmalloc-1024 slab cache, leaving 256 bytes of unused memory per XFRM state object -- a net waste of 25%. Using a dedicated slab cache for struct xfrm_state reduces the level of internal fragmentation to a minimum. On my configuration SLUB chooses to create a slab cache covering 4 pages holding 21 objects, resulting in an average memory waste of ~13 bytes per object -- a net waste of only 1.6%. In my tests this led to memory savings of roughly 2.3MB for 10k XFRM states. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> |
