I'm unable to boot with slab on current Linus -master, and bisected it down almost as far as Tony did before trying SLUB and then finding this thread. My box is a standard x86-64, nothing exciting and spinlock debugging isn't on.
A few printks stuffed into Christoph's code:
cache ffff88047f000080 at index 5 creating slab cache at 6 create special cache #1 (this is kmalloc_caches[1]) cache ffff88047f0001c0 at index 7 creating slab cache at 8 creating slab cache at 9 creating slab cache at 10 ... more get created
Pulling this into the code from commit 8a965b3b:
for (i = KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW; i <= KMALLOC_SHIFT_HIGH; i++) { if (!kmalloc_caches[i]) { kmalloc_caches[i] = create_kmalloc_cache(NULL, 1 << i, flags);
/* * Caches that are not of the two-to-the-power-of size. * These have to be created immediately after the * earlier power of two caches */ if (KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE <= 32 && !kmalloc_caches[1] && i == 6) kmalloc_caches[1] = create_kmalloc_cache(NULL, 96, flags);
if (KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE <= 64 && !kmalloc_caches[2] && i == 7) kmalloc_caches[2] = create_kmalloc_cache(NULL, 192, flags); } }
kmalloc_caches[7] was not null, and so kmalloc_caches[2] was never created.
I get this oops (with early printk on)

This patch fixes things for me, but to maintain the rules from Christoph's patch, kmalloc_caches[2] should have been created whenever kmalloc_caches[7] was done.
