Subject: [ANNOUNCE]  slab information utility
Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2003 23:03:06 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1064199786.1199.29.camel@boobies.awol.org> (raw)

Robert Love and I would like to announce the release of a new procps
utility, slabtop.  Slabtop displays detail kernel slab layer information
in real time.  The look of slabtop matches top's.  Slabtop displays a
statistics header along with the “top” caches based on a sort criteria. 
Sample output of slabtop is as follows:

Active / Total Objects (% used)    : 42403 / 63315 (67.0%)
Active / Total Slabs (% used)      : 3461 / 3461 (100.0%)
Active / Total Caches (% used)     : 60 / 97 (61.9%)
Active / Total Size (% used)       : 10151.11K / 14245.87K (71.3%)
Minimum / Average / Maximum Object : 0.02K / 0.22K / 128.00K

   260    256  98%    0.76K     52        5       208K biovec-64

I hope this tool will be of some use to all kernel developers.  Robert
has made procps packages available here:

All bug reports and feature requests are welcome.  Hopefully, slabtop
will save the day.
