Okay. It seems more reasonable to me.
I guess that this is the same issue with following link.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/4/81

best solution for this problem. I should discuss with slab maintainers.

I will think about this problem more deeply and report the solution to you
as soon as possible.

Thanks.
