I'm not sure I clearly understand the problems you're pointing
me to.

what we have in slabinfo as slab_size(), ->object_size, etc.
comming from slub's sysfs attrs:
chdir("/sys/kernel/slab")
while readdir
...
slab->object_size = get_obj("object_size");
slab->slab_size = get_obj("slab_size");
...
and attr show handlers are:
...
static ssize_t slab_size_show(struct kmem_cache *s, char *buf)
{
return sprintf(buf, "%d\n", s->size);
}
SLAB_ATTR_RO(slab_size);
static ssize_t object_size_show(struct kmem_cache *s, char *buf)
{
return sprintf(buf, "%d\n", s->object_size);
}
SLAB_ATTR_RO(object_size);
...
so those are sprintf("%d") of `struct kmem_cache'-s `int'
values.
> total_used and total_objects are unsigned long long.
yes, that's correct.
but `total_used / total_objects' cannot be larger that the size
of the largest object, which is represented in the kernel and
returned to user space as `int'. it must fit into `unsigned int'.

... in case if someday `struct kmem_cache' will be updated to keep
`unsigned long' sized objects and sysfs attrs will do sprintf("%lu")?
IOW, if slabs will keep objects bigger that 4gig?
