Kernel may panic when oom happens without killable process sometimes it
is caused by huge unreclaimable slabs used by kernel.
Although kdump could help debug such problem, however, kdump is not
available on all architectures and it might be malfunction sometime.
And, since kernel already panic it is worthy capturing such information
in dmesg to aid touble shooting.
Print out unreclaimable slab info (used size and total size) which
actual memory usage is not zero (num_objs * size != 0) when:
- unreclaimable slabs : all user memory > unreclaim_slabs_oom_ratio
- panic_on_oom is set or no killable process
The output looks like:
Unreclaimable slab info:
Name Used Total
rpc_buffers 31KB 31KB
rpc_tasks 7KB 7KB
ebitmap_node 1964KB 1964KB
avtab_node 5024KB 5024KB
xfs_buf 1402KB 1402KB
xfs_ili 134KB 134KB
