18587660a6fdSKees Cook	  For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be
18597660a6fdSKees Cook	  merged when they share the same size and other characteristics.
18607660a6fdSKees Cook	  This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to
18617660a6fdSKees Cook	  overwrite objects from merged caches (and more easily control
18627660a6fdSKees Cook	  cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit
18637660a6fdSKees Cook	  by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits
18647660a6fdSKees Cook	  can usually only damage objects in the same cache. To disable
18657660a6fdSKees Cook	  merging at runtime, "slab_nomerge" can be passed on the kernel
