Observing the number of slab objects of btrfs_transaction, there's just one active on an almost quiescent filesystem, and the number of objects goes to about ten when sync is in progress. Then the nubmer goes down to 1. This matches the expectations of the transaction lifetime. For such use the separate slab cache is not justified, as we do not reuse objects frequently. For the shortlived transaction, the generic slab (size 512) should be ok. We can optimistically expect that the 512 slabs are not all used (fragmentation) and there are free slots to take when we do the allocation, compared to potentially allocating a whole new page for the separate slab. We'll lose the stats about the object use, which could be added later if we really need them. Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
