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
