Thanks for the profile. I still wonder where exactly thouse super-hot call-sites are...


In this case, it's a typical network server

Each time a packet is sent to or received from network, network stack has to allocate/free a skb (kmem_cache_alloc()/kmem_cache_free() and its data (kmalloc/kfree)

Other paths are for example dentries allocations, file allocations, ... really many spots for some workloads.
