From: Manfred Spraul Improve the packing density for 1536-byte ethernet frames on 8k or larger page size machines. The slab has 1620 bytes - 5 should fit into one page (1620*5+40 bytes slab+5*4 bufctl - 32 bytes should remain unused on 64-bit archs). --- 25-akpm/include/linux/kmalloc_sizes.h | 3 +++ 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+) diff -puN include/linux/kmalloc_sizes.h~add-a-slab-for-ethernet include/linux/kmalloc_sizes.h --- 25/include/linux/kmalloc_sizes.h~add-a-slab-for-ethernet Tue Feb 24 14:40:06 2004 +++ 25-akpm/include/linux/kmalloc_sizes.h Tue Feb 24 14:40:06 2004 @@ -12,6 +12,9 @@ CACHE(256) CACHE(512) CACHE(1024) +#if (PAGE_SIZE != 4096) /* special cache for eth skbs - 5 fit into one 8 kB page */ + CACHE(1620) +#endif CACHE(2048) CACHE(4096) CACHE(8192) _
