mm: SLAB Out-of-memory diagnostics
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Following the example at mm/slub.c, add out-of-memory diagnostics to the
SLAB allocator to help on debugging certain OOM conditions.

An example print out looks like this:

  <snip page allocator out-of-memory message>
  SLAB: Unable to allocate memory on node 0 (gfp=0x11200)
    cache: bio-0, object size: 192, order: 0
    node 0: slabs: 3/3, objs: 60/60, free: 0
