As Tetsuo points out:
Commit 385386cff4c6f047 ("mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from
zone to node counters") broke "Slab:" field of /proc/meminfo . It
shows nearly 0kB.
In addition to /proc/meminfo, this problem also affects the slab
counters OOM/allocation failure info dumps, can cause early -ENOMEM
from overcommit protection, and miscalculate image size requirements
during suspend-to-disk.
This is because the patch in question switched the slab counters from
the zone level to the node level, but forgot to update the global
accessor functions to read the aggregate node data instead of the
aggregate zone data.
Use global_node_page_state() to access the global slab counters.
Fixes: 385386cff4c6 ("mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to node counters")

2.13.3
From: Michal Hocko <[email protected]>
global_page_state is error prone as a recent bug report pointed out [1].
It only returns proper values for zone based counters as the enum it
gets suggests. We already have global_node_page_state so let's rename
global_page_state to global_zone_page_state to be more explicit here.
All existing users seems to be correct
$ git grep "global_page_state(NR_" | sed 's@.*(\(NR_[A-Z_]*\)).*@\1@' | sort | uniq -c
2 NR_BOUNCE
2 NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES
11 NR_FREE_PAGES
1 NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB
1 NR_MLOCK
2 NR_PAGETABLE
This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.

I vaguely remember somebody wanted to add/consolidate a helper to
convert pages to kB as we have more of those. I wouldn't lose
sleep over "line over 80 characters" warnings in this case. Those lines
are still readable.
