SLUB should handle that fine > (if not, please report it :) So when PAGE_SIZE_MAX=64K and PAGE_SIZE=4K, kmalloc will support up to 128K whereas before it only supported up to 8K. I was trying to avoid that since I assumed that would be costly in terms of extra memory allocated for those higher order buckets that will never be used. But I have no idea how SLUB works in practice. Perhaps memory for the cache is only lazily allocated so we won't see an issue in practice? I'm happy to make this change if you're certain it's the right approach; please confirm. > > Maybe we could also stop adding + 1 to PAGE_SHIFT_MAX if it's >=64k, so the > cache size is max 64k and not 128k but that should be probably evaluated > separately from this series. I'm inferring from this that perhaps there is a memory cost with having the higher orders defined but unused.
