The page order of the slab that gets chosen for a given slab cache depends
on the number of objects that can be fit in the slab while meeting other
requirements. We start with a value of minimum objects based on
nr_cpu_ids that is driven by possible number of CPUs and hence could be
higher than the actual number of CPUs present in the system. This leads
to calculate_order() chosing a page order that is on the higher side
leading to increased slab memory consumption on systems that have bigger
page sizes.
Hence rely on the number of online CPUs when determining the mininum
objects, thereby increasing the chances of chosing a lower conservative
page order for the slab.

"Ideally, we would react to hotplug events and update existing caches
accordingly. But for that, recalculation of order for existing caches
would have to be made safe, while not affecting hot paths. We have

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
