[PATCH v4 6/6] mm, slab: shorten kmalloc cache names for large sizes

From: Vlastimil Babka <hidden>
Date: 2018-07-31 09:07:06
Also in: linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, slab allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Vlastimil Babka, Harry Yoo, Linus Torvalds

Kmalloc cache names can get quite long for large object sizes, when the sizes
are expressed in bytes. Use 'k' and 'M' prefixes to make the names as short
as possible e.g. in /proc/slabinfo. This works, as we mostly use power-of-two
sizes, with exceptions only below 1k.

Example: 'kmalloc-4194304' becomes 'kmalloc-4M'
