slab, slub: remove size disparity on debug kernel
I have noticed on debug kernel with SLAB, the size of some non-root slabs were larger than their corresponding root slabs. e.g. for radix_tree_node: $cat /proc/slabinfo | grep radix name <active_objs> <num_objs> <objsize> <objperslab> <pagesperslab> ... radix_tree_node 15052 15075 4096 1 1 ... $cat /cgroup/memory/temp/memory.kmem.slabinfo | grep radix name <active_objs> <num_objs> <objsize> <objperslab> <pagesperslab> ... radix_tree_node 1581 158 4120 1 2 ... However for SLUB in debug kernel, the sizes were same. On further inspection it is found that SLUB always use kmem_cache.object_size to measure the kmem_cache.size while SLAB use the given kmem_cache.size. In the debug kernel the slab's size can be larger than its object_size. Thus in the creation of non-root slab, the SLAB uses the root's size as base to calculate the non-root slab's size and thus non-root slab's size can be larger than the root slab's size. For SLUB, the non-root slab's size is measured based on the root's object_size and thus the size will remain same for root and non-root slab. This patch makes slab's object_size the default base to measure the slab's size.
