The commit 4c39529663b9 adds a warning about duplicate cache names if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is selected. These warnings are triggered by the dm-bufio code. The dm-bufio code allocates a slab cache with each client. It is not possible to preallocate the caches in the module init function because the size of auxiliary per-buffer data is not known at this point. So, this commit changes dm-bufio so that it appends a unique atomic value to the cache name, to avoid the warnings.
