number of objects per slab. If a slab cannot be allocated
because of fragmentation, SLUB will retry with the minimum order
possible depending on its characteristics.
+ When debug_guardpage_minorder=N (N > 0) parameter is specified
+ (see Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt), the minimum possible
+ order is used and this sysfs entry can not be used to change
+ the order at run time.
