The patch titled Subject: slub: track number of slabs irrespective of CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was slub-track-number-of-slabs-irrespective-of-config_slub_debug.patch

This patch was dropped because it is obsolete

------------------------------------------------------ From: Shakeel Butt shakeelb@google.com Subject: slub: track number of slabs irrespective of CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG

For !CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG, SLUB does not maintain the number of slabs allocated per node for a kmem_cache. Thus, slabs_node() in __kmem_cache_empty(), __kmem_cache_shrink() and __kmem_cache_destroy() will always return 0 for such config. This is wrong and can cause issues for all users of these functions.

In fact in [1] Jason has reported a system crash while using SLUB without CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG. The reason was the usage of slabs_node() by __kmem_cache_empty().

The right solution is to make slabs_node() work even for !CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG. The commit 0f389ec63077 ("slub: No need for per node slab counters if !SLUB_DEBUG") had put the per node slab counter under CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG because it was only read through sysfs API and the sysfs API was disabled on !CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG. However the users of the per node slab counter assumed that it will work in the absence of CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG. So, make the counter work for !CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG.

Please note that f9e13c0a5a33 ("slab, slub: skip unnecessary kasan_cache_shutdown()") exposed this issue but it is present even before.
