Are you sure? It looks to me like it adds a member to the memcg_cache_array

And then defines 'root_caches_node' to be 'memcg_params.__root_caches_node'
if we have CONFIG_MEMCG otherwise defines 'root_caches_node' to be 'list'

I believe it should since 'list' is used to add to slab_caches list.

I was unable to reproduce this crash, I built with
# CONFIG_MEMCG is not set
CONFIG_SLAB=y
CONFIG_SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT=y
CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK=y
I then booted in Qemu and successfully ran
$ cat slab_allocators
Perhaps you could post your config?
Hope this helps,
Tobin.
