Mathias Krause 565f0fa902 xfrm: use a dedicated slab cache for struct xfrm_state
struct xfrm_state is rather large (768 bytes here) and therefore wastes
quite a lot of memory as it falls into the kmalloc-1024 slab cache,
leaving 256 bytes of unused memory per XFRM state object -- a net waste
of 25%.

Using a dedicated slab cache for struct xfrm_state reduces the level of
internal fragmentation to a minimum.

On my configuration SLUB chooses to create a slab cache covering 4
pages holding 21 objects, resulting in an average memory waste of ~13
bytes per object -- a net waste of only 1.6%.

In my tests this led to memory savings of roughly 2.3MB for 10k XFRM
states.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
