Hm, it's strange, do you have any values in memory.stat::slab for any cgroups?
Or can you send me your config (and kvm setup), I'll take a look.
Btw, thank you very much for reviewing the series! I appreciate it.
I'll integrate your feedback into the next version, which I'm working on right now.
Thanks!
