    mm, slab: memcg_link the SLAB's kmem_cache · 880cd276
    Shakeel Butt authored
    All the root caches are linked into slab_root_caches which was
    introduced by the commit 510ded33 ("slab: implement slab_root_caches
    list") but it missed to add the SLAB's kmem_cache.
    
    While experimenting with opt-in/opt-out kmem accounting, I noticed
    system crashes due to NULL dereference inside cache_from_memcg_idx()
    while deferencing kmem_cache.memcg_params.memcg_caches.  The upstream
    clean kernel will not see these crashes but SLAB should be consistent
    with SLUB which does linked its boot caches (kmem_cache_node and
    kmem_cache) into slab_root_caches.
