Robert Love and I would like to announce the release of a new procps
utility, slabtop. Slabtop displays detail kernel slab layer information
in real time. The look of slabtop matches top's. Slabtop displays a
statistics header along with the “top” caches based on a sort criteria.
Sample output of slabtop is as follows:
Active / Total Objects (% used) : 42403 / 63315 (67.0%)
Active / Total Slabs (% used) : 3461 / 3461 (100.0%)
Active / Total Caches (% used) : 60 / 97 (61.9%)
Active / Total Size (% used) : 10151.11K / 14245.87K (71.3%)
Minimum / Average / Maximum Object : 0.02K / 0.22K / 128.00K

I hope this tool will be of some use to all kernel developers. Robert
has made procps packages available here:

All bug reports and feature requests are welcome. Hopefully, slabtop
will save the day.

sounds good, downloaded the .src.rpm ... rebuilt and installed.
finally slabtop gives me an empty screen :( ...

It is this bastard. No easy way to parse text files when fields have
the delimiter in them, unfortunately.
Not too sure what to do but patch the kernel not to have spaces in slab
cache names. I know I have seen such patches go in before.

what about checking at which position the space occurs?
at least to me it seems like pos < 20 would be okay
for a space in the name 8-)

Not too pretty with the sscanf we do. Or even possible -- how do we
differentiate between n spaces and the next delimiter followed by a
legal field?
Anyhow, Chris and I concocted a little patch. Its not sexy but it
works. Apply it and recompile -- let me know.

Verboten. I'll fix that up. I'll also slip a BUG_ON(strchr(name, ' '));
into kmem_cache_create()...

Sweet. Hope you like it. I think its very valuable during all sorts of
kernel debugging (or even simple administrating), because everything is
tied into the slab layer but /proc/slabinfo, while useful information,
is impossible to grok.
This is actually inspired (although not really based on) Martin Bligh's
vmtop perl script. I just checked in a little "thanks" to him into the
man page ;-)

I used to have a patch that implemented a /sysfs/slab/ layer, where
you could get all of the /proc/slabinfo information via sysfs
conveniently. Sadly, it went to wherever bad harddisks go when they
die. Since I need it for a different endeavour, I'll ressurect it
eventually. That should make the parsing in slabinfo a lot simpler.
Cheers,
Muli

it works!
(of course it ignores the "dm io" slab data)
by the way, resizing the terminal with slabtop
running is funny too 8-)
