SLUB: Out-of-memory diagnostics
As suggested by Mel Gorman, add out-of-memory diagnostics to the SLUB allocator to make debugging OOM conditions easier. This patch helped hunt down a nasty OOM issue that popped up every now that was caused by SLUB debugging code which forced 4096 byte allocations to use order 1 pages even in the fallback case. An example print out looks like this: <snip page allocator out-of-memory message> SLUB: Unable to allocate memory on node -1 (gfp=20) cache: kmalloc-4096, object size: 4096, buffer size: 4168, default order: 3, min order: 1 node 0: slabs: 95, objs: 665, free: 0 Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Tested-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>
