- migration_cost=
- [KNL,SMP] debug: override scheduler migration costs
- Format: <level-1-usecs>,<level-2-usecs>,...
- This debugging option can be used to override the
- default scheduler migration cost matrix. The numbers
- are indexed by 'CPU domain distance'.
- E.g. migration_cost=1000,2000,3000 on an SMT NUMA
- box will set up an intra-core migration cost of
- 1 msec, an inter-core migration cost of 2 msecs,
- and an inter-node migration cost of 3 msecs.
-
- WARNING: using the wrong values here can break
- scheduler performance, so it's only for scheduler
- development purposes, not production environments.
-
- migration_debug=
- [KNL,SMP] migration cost auto-detect verbosity
- Format=<0|1|2>
- If a system's migration matrix reported at bootup
- seems erroneous then this option can be used to
- increase verbosity of the detection process.
- We default to 0 (no extra messages), 1 will print
- some more information, and 2 will be really
- verbose (probably only useful if you also have a
- serial console attached to the system).
-
- migration_factor=
- [KNL,SMP] multiply/divide migration costs by a factor
- Format=<percent>
- This debug option can be used to proportionally
- increase or decrease the auto-detected migration
- costs for all entries of the migration matrix.
- E.g. migration_factor=150 will increase migration
- costs by 50%. (and thus the scheduler will be less
- eager migrating cache-hot tasks)
- migration_factor=80 will decrease migration costs
- by 20%. (thus the scheduler will be more eager to
- migrate tasks)
-
- WARNING: using the wrong values here can break
- scheduler performance, so it's only for scheduler
- development purposes, not production environments.

+ slub_debug [MM, SLUB]
+ Enabling slub_debug allows one to determine the culprit
+ if slab objects become corrupted. Enabling slub_debug
+ creates guard zones around objects and poisons objects
+ when not in use. Also tracks the last alloc / free.
+ For more information see Documentation/vm/slub.txt.
+
+ slub_max_order= [MM, SLUB]
+ Determines the maximum allowed order for slabs. Setting
+ this too high may cause fragmentation.
+ For more information see Documentation/vm/slub.txt.
+
+ slub_min_objects= [MM, SLUB]
+ The minimum objects per slab. SLUB will increase the
+ slab order up to slub_max_order to generate a
+ sufficiently big slab to satisfy the number of objects.
+ The higher the number of objects the smaller the overhead
+ of tracking slabs.
+ For more information see Documentation/vm/slub.txt.
+
+ slub_min_order= [MM, SLUB]
+ Determines the mininum page order for slabs. Must be
+ lower than slub_max_order
+ For more information see Documentation/vm/slub.txt.
+
+ slub_nomerge [MM, SLUB]
+ Disable merging of slabs of similar size. May be
+ necessary if there is some reason to distinguish
+ allocs to different slabs.
+ For more information see Documentation/vm/slub.txt.
