Well /proc/slabinfo is a legacy interface. The infomation if a slab is

Thanks for pointing this out. It would be unacceptable if it would break
the backward compatibility.
A follow-up question is do we know what tools rely on the slabinfo format?
From my point of view, although /proc/slabinfo is legacy, it sounds it
is still used very often by the users.
Thanks,
