commit 'b1cb098: change the management method of free objects of the slab'
introduces bug on slab leak detector('/proc/slab_allocators'). This
detector works like as following decription.
1. traverse all objects on all the slabs.
2. determine whether it is active or not.
3. if active, print who allocate this object.
commit 'b1cb098' changes the way how to manage free objects, so logic
determining whether it is active or not is also changed. In before, we
regard object in cpu caches as inactive one, but, with this commit, we
mistakenly regard object in cpu caches as active one.
This intoduces kernel oops if DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled.
If DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled, kernel_map_pages() is used to detect
who corrupt free memory in the slab. It unmaps page table mapping if
object is free and map it if object is active. When slab leak detector
check object in cpu caches, it mistakenly think this object active so
try to access object memory to retrieve caller of allocation. At this
point, page table mapping to this object doesn't exist, so oops occurs.
Following is oops message reported from Dave.
It blew up when something tried to read /proc/slab_allocators
(Just cat it, and you should see the oops below)
Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC

To fix the problem, I introduces object status buffer on each slab.
With this, we can track object status precisely, so slab leak detector
would not access active object and no kernel oops would occur.
Memory overhead caused by this fix is only imposed to
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK which is mainly used for debugging, so memory
overhead isn't big problem.

Hello,
Please review this one. :)
There was some bug reports on this issue 2~3 month ago, and,
at that time, I sent the patch to fix the problem, but didn't get review.
So this issue is pending until now.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/9/191
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/15/727
If possible, I'd like to merge this fix first rather than other slab
related patches.
Thanks.
