    Subject[PATCH 3/3] mm/slab: support slab merge
    Date
    Slab merge is good feature to reduce fragmentation. If new creating slab
    have similar size and property with exsitent slab, this feature reuse
    it rather than creating new one. As a result, objects are packed into
    fewer slabs so that fragmentation is reduced.

    Below is result of my testing.

    * After boot, sleep 20; cat /proc/meminfo | grep Slab

    <Before>
    Slab: 25136 kB

    <After>
    Slab: 24364 kB

    We can save 3% memory used by slab.
