test_kmem_basic creates 100,000 negative dentries, with each one mapping to a slab object. After memory.high is set, these are reclaimed through the shrink_slab function call which reclaims all 100,000 entries. The test passes the majority of the time because when slab1 or current is calculated, it is often above 0, however, 0 is also an acceptable value. Signed-off-by: Lucas Karpinski <lkarpins@xxxxxxxxxx> --- In the previous patch, I missed a change to the variable 'current' even after some testing as the issue was so sporadic. Current takes the slab size into account and can also face the same issue where it fails since the reported value is 0, which is an acceptable value.
