Hi Joonsoo,
0day kernel testing robot got the below dmesg and the first bad commit is
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master
commit 36fbfebe776eb5871d61e7a755c9feb1c96cc4aa
Author: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim(a)lge.com>
AuthorDate: Tue Sep 23 11:52:35 2014 +1000

mm/slab: support slab merge
Slab merge is good feature to reduce fragmentation. If new creating slab
have similar size and property with exsitent slab, this feature reuse it
rather than creating new one. As a result, objects are packed into fewer
slabs so that fragmentation is reduced.
Below is result of my testing.
* After boot, sleep 20; cat /proc/meminfo | grep Slab
<Before>
Slab: 25136 kB
<After>
Slab: 24364 kB
We can save 3% memory used by slab.
For supporting this feature in SLAB, we need to implement SLAB specific
kmem_cache_flag() and __kmem_cache_alias(), because SLUB implements some
SLUB specific processing related to debug flag and object size change on
these functions.

mm/slab: support slab merge
Slab merge is good feature to reduce fragmentation. If new creating slab
have similar size and property with exsitent slab, this feature reuse it
rather than creating new one. As a result, objects are packed into fewer
slabs so that fragmentation is reduced.
Below is result of my testing.
* After boot, sleep 20; cat /proc/meminfo | grep Slab
<Before>
Slab: 25136 kB
<After>
Slab: 24364 kB
We can save 3% memory used by slab.
For supporting this feature in SLAB, we need to implement SLAB specific
kmem_cache_flag() and __kmem_cache_alias(), because SLUB implements some
SLUB specific processing related to debug flag and object size change on
these functions.

[ 0.468000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
This error is caused by wrongly initialized object due to slab merge.
Size of vm_area_struct is 92 bytes in this configuration, and, for better
alignment, this kmem_cache manage memory in 96 bytes unit. But, maybe for
performance reason, if user requests zeroing for this object, object is
cleared up to 92 bytes.
Meanwhile, size of kernfs_node_cache is 96 bytes so that it can be merged
with kmem_cache for vm_area_struct. In this situation, if user request
zeroing for objects for kernfs_node_cache, object is only cleared up to
92 bytes. So, kernfs_node had odd value on iattr field and this results in
de-referencing wrong address bug.
To fix this problem, object size is adjusted when merging occurs.
After this change, zeroing will be done to complete object so that
de-referencing wrong address can't happen.
