We would like to see how fragmented the SLUB allocator is, one window into fragmentation is the total number of partial slabs. Currently `slabinfo -X` shows slabs sorted by loss and by size. We can use this option to also show slabs sorted by number of partial slabs. Option '-X' can be used in conjunction with '-N' to control the number of slabs shown e.g. list of top 5 slabs: slabinfo -X -N5 Add list of slabs ordered by number of partial slabs to output of `slabinfo -X`.

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.
