The patch below reduces kernel memory used by SELinux policy rules by about 37% on 64-bit systems. This is because the size of struct avtab_node is 40 bytes on 64-bit, and defaults to a size-64 slab. Creating a slab cache specifically for these structs saves considerable amounts of kernel memory on 64-bit systems with large rulesets. 'Strict' policy has over 300k rules, while 'targeted' policy has around 3k rules. Here's the slabtop output with 64 and 40 byte sized slabs to show the memory savings, for strict policy: 303475 303447 99% 0.06K 4975 61 19900K avtab_node 303456 303447 99% 0.04K 3161 96 12644K avtab_node Also, there are 57% more objects per slab.
