Event items are used for completing Surface Aggregator EC events, i.e. placing event command data and payload on a workqueue for later processing to avoid doing said processing directly on the receiver thread. This means that event items are allocated for each incoming event, regardless of that event being transmitted via sequenced or unsequenced packets. On the Surface Book 3 and Surface Laptop 3, touchpad HID input events (unsequenced), can constitute a larger amount of traffic, and therefore allocation of event items. This warrants caching event items to reduce memory fragmentation. The size of the cached objects is specifically tuned to accommodate keyboard and touchpad input events and their payloads on those devices. As a result, this effectively also covers most other event types. In case of a larger event payload, event item allocation will fall back to kzalloc().

README
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.
