CONFIG_SLABINFO and /proc/slabinfo have nothing to do with the
unreclaimable slab info.

The current design uses "struct slabinfo" and get_slabinfo() to retrieve some
info, i.e. active objs, etc. They are protected by CONFIG_SLABINFO.

Ok I guess then those need to be moved out of CONFIG_SLABINFO. Otherwise
dumping of slabs will not be supported when disabling that option.

Yes.


Or dump CONFIG_SLABINFO ..

I prefer to this. It sounds pointless to keep CONFIG_SLABINFO. It is always on by default and can't be changed in menuconfig.

Thanks,
