Increase the maximum object size in SLUB so that 8k objects are not passed through to the page allocator anymore. The network stack uses 8k objects for performance critical operations. The patch is motivated by a SLAB vs. SLUB regression in the netperf benchmark. The problem is that the kfree(skb->head) call in skb_release_data() that is subject to page allocator pass-through as the size passed to __alloc_skb() is larger than 4 KB in this test. As explained by Yanmin Zhang: I use 2.6.29-rc2 kernel to run netperf UDP-U-4k CPU_NUM client/server pair loopback testing on x86-64 machines. Comparing with SLUB, SLAB's result is about 2.3 times of SLUB's. After applying the reverting patch, the result difference between SLUB and SLAB becomes 1% which we might consider as fluctuation.
