@ -346,6 +346,10 @@ Description:
number of objects per slab. If a slab cannot be allocated
because of fragmentation, SLUB will retry with the minimum order
possible depending on its characteristics.
When debug_guardpage_minorder=N (N > 0) parameter is specified
(see Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt), the minimum possible
order is used and this sysfs entry can not be used to change
the order at run time.

slub_max_order specified the order at which slub_min_objects should no
longer be checked. This is useful to avoid SLUB trying to generate
super large order pages to fit slub_min_objects of a slab cache with
large object sizes into one high order page.
large object sizes into one high order page. Setting command line
parameter debug_guardpage_minorder=N (N > 0), forces setting
slub_max_order to 0, what cause minimum possible order of slabs
allocation.
