For small objects the kernel's slab implementation is very fast and space efficient. However, as the allocation size increases to require multiple pages performance suffers. The SPL kmem cache allocator was designed to better handle these large allocation sizes. Therefore, on Linux the kmem_cache_* compatibility wrappers prefer to use the kernel's slab allocator for small objects and the custom SPL kmem cache allocator for larger objects. This logic was effectively disabled for all architectures using a non-4K page size which caused all kmem caches to only use the SPL implementation. Functionally this is fine, but the SPL code which calculates the target number of objects per-slab does not take in to account that __vmalloc() always returns page-aligned memory. This can result in a massive amount of wasted space when allocating tiny objects on a platform using large pages (64k). To resolve this issue we set the spl_kmem_cache_slab_limit cutoff to 16K for all architectures. This particular change does not attempt to update the logic used to calculate the optimal number of pages per slab. This remains an issue which should be addressed in a future change.
