When creating a new kmem cache, SLUB determines how large the slab pages will based on number of inputs, including the number of CPUs in the system. Larger slab pages mean that more objects can be allocated/free from per-cpu slabs before accessing shared structures, but also potentially more memory can be wasted due to low slab usage and fragmentation. The rough idea of using number of CPUs is that larger systems will be more likely to benefit from reduced contention, and also should have enough memory to spare. Number of CPUs used to be determined as nr_cpu_ids, which is number of possible cpus, but on some systems many will never be onlined, thus commit |

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.
