7 | The /sys/kernel/slab directory contains a snapshot of the | |
8 | internal state of the SLUB allocator for each cache. Certain | |
9 | files may be modified to change the behavior of the cache (and | |
10 | any cache it aliases, if any). | |

422 | should be performed on free and, at minimum, enables double free | |
423 | checks. Caches that enable sanity_checks cannot be merged with | |
424 | caches that do not. | |

431 | Description: | |
432 | The shrink file is written when memory should be reclaimed from | |
433 | a cache. Empty partial slabs are freed and the partial list is | |
434 | sorted so the slabs with the fewest available objects are used | |
435 | first. | |
