test_kmem_basic creates 100,000 negative dentries, with each one mapping
to a slab object. After memory.high is set, these are reclaimed through
the shrink_slab function call which reclaims all 100,000 entries. The
test passes the majority of the time because when slab1 is calculated,
it is often above 0, however, 0 is also an acceptable value.

This conflicts with a recent patch already queued up in -mm:
selftests: cgroup: fix test_kmem_basic false positives
which adds a sleep(1) between cg_write() and cg_read_key_long().
Can you please rebase on top of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm.git mm-unstable
and re-send the patch with
To: Andrew Morton <[email protected]>
? Thanks
