Subject: [PATCH v11] mm: slub: move sysfs slab alloc/free interfaces to debugfs

alloc_calls and free_calls implementation in sysfs have two issues,
one is PAGE_SIZE limitation of sysfs and other is it does not adhere
to "one value per file" rule.

To overcome this issues, move the alloc_calls and free_calls
implementation to debugfs.

Debugfs cache will be created if SLAB_STORE_USER flag is set.

Rename the alloc_calls/free_calls to alloc_traces/free_traces,
to be inline with what it does.

It seems you missed the version bump along with changelog.
Note, some maintainers (actually quite many I think) are using tools
to fetch up the patches and two patches with the same version is a
problem. Hence I do not consider it a nit-pick.

Hmmm, I think to avoid same version problem I have to push same patch
with new version number and thank you for your patience.

I *think* Andrew wouldn't have this issue, so maybe resend only if he says it's
needed.
On the other hand I did have troubles to apply the last version locally, patch
(tool) complained of patch (file) being malformed at the end. Did you add or
delete lines from it after generating the patch? I had to use the recountdiff
tool to fix this. If you're going to resend, please make sure it's without the

Do I need to send patch with new version number?.

Always make your intentions clear. Currently they are unclear (two
different submissions with the same versions => confusing).
