    selinux: Use a kmem_cache for allocation struct file_security_struct · 63205654
    Sangwoo 提交于
    The size of struct file_security_struct is 16byte at my setup.
    But, the real allocation size for per each file_security_struct
    is 64bytes in my setup that kmalloc min size is 64bytes
    because ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is 64.
    
    This allocation is called every times at file allocation(alloc_file()).
    So, the total slack memory size(allocated size - request size)
    is increased exponentially.
    
    E.g) Min Kmalloc Size : 64bytes, Unit : bytes
          Allocated Size | Request Size | Slack Size | Allocation Count
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
             770048      |    192512    |   577536   |      12032
    
    At the result, this change reduce memory usage 42bytes per each
    file_security_struct
