    Security: smack: replace kzalloc with kmem_cache for inode_smack · 1a5b472b
    Rohit authored
    The patch use kmem_cache to allocate/free inode_smack since they are
    alloced in high volumes making it a perfect case for kmem_cache.
    
    As per analysis, 24 bytes of memory is wasted per allocation due
    to internal fragmentation. With kmem_cache, this can be avoided.
    
    Accounting of memory allocation is below :
     total       slack            net      count-alloc/free        caller
    Before (with kzalloc)
    1919872      719952          1919872      29998/0          new_inode_smack+0x14
    
    After (with kmem_cache)
    1201680          0           1201680      30042/0          new_inode_smack+0x18
    
    >From above data, we found that 719952 bytes(~700 KB) of memory is
    saved on allocation of 29998 smack inodes.
