We should not always use PAGESIZE alignment for caches bigger than
it and SPA_MINBLOCKSIZE otherwise. Doing that caches for 5, 6, 7,
10 and 14KB rounded up to 8, 12 and 16KB respectively make no sense.
Instead specify as alignment the biggest power-of-2 divisor. This
way 2KB and 6KB caches are both aligned to 2KB, while 4KB and 8KB
are aligned to 4KB.
Reduce number of caches to half-power of 2 instead of quarter-power
of 2. This removes caches difficult for underlying allocators to
fit into page-granular slabs, such as: 2.5, 3.5, 5, 7, 10KB, etc.
Since these caches are mostly used for transient allocations like
ZIOs and small DBUF cache it does not worth being too aggressive.
Due to the above alignment issue some of those caches were not
working properly any way. 6KB cache now finally has a chance to
work right, placing 2 buffers into 3 pages, that makes sense.
Remove explicit alignment in Linux user-space case. I don't think
it should be needed any more with the above fixes.
As result on FreeBSD instead of such numbers of pages per slab:
