Dear Experts,

I would like to know a mechanism, how to increase the number of object and where the memory is from.

(because when cache is created by "kmem_cache_create", there is only object size, but no number of the object)
For example, "size-65536" does not have available memory from below dump.
In that state, if memory allocation is requested to "size-65536",

1.     How to allocate/increase the number of object on "size-65536"?

2.     Where is the new allocated memory from? (from buddy?)

I believe it is hard to explain with simple word, any advice will be very helpful.

cat /proc/buddyinfo
