Currently, refill low/high marks are set with the assumption of normal non-percpu memory allocation. For example, for an allocation size 256, for non-percpu memory allocation, low mark is 32 and high mark is 96, resulting in the batch allocation of 48 elements and the allocated memory will be 48 * 256 = 12KB for this particular cpu. Assuming an 128-cpu system, the total memory consumption across all cpus will be 12K * 128 = 1.5MB memory. This might be okay for non-percpu allocation, but may not be good for percpu allocation, which will consume 1.5MB * 128 = 192MB memory in the worst case if every cpu has a chance of memory allocation. In practice, percpu allocation is very rare compared to non-percpu allocation. So let us have smaller low/high marks which can avoid unnecessary memory consumption.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
