With CONFIG_SLUB_TINY we want to minimize memory overhead. By lowering the default slub_max_order we can make slab allocations use smaller pages. However depending on object sizes, order-0 might not be the best due to increased fragmentation. When testing on a 8MB RAM k210 system by Damien Le Moal [1], slub_max_order=1 had the best results, so use that as the default for CONFIG_SLUB_TINY.

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.
