Keep in mind this is regardless of SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT: your patch has value beyond only unreclaimable slab, it can also be used to show instances where the oom killer was invoked without properly reclaiming slab. If the total footprint of a slab cache exceeds 5%, I think a line should be emitted unconditionally to the kernel log.
