mm/slab: alternative implementation for DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK
DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK is a debug option. It's current implementation requires
status buffer so we need more memory to use it. And, it cause
kmem_cache initialization step more complex.
To remove this extra memory usage and to simplify initialization step,
this patch implement this feature with another way.
When user requests to get slab object owner information, it marks that
getting information is started. And then, all free objects in caches
are flushed to corresponding slab page. Now, we can distinguish all
freed object so we can know all allocated objects, too. After
collecting slab object owner information on allocated objects, mark is
checked that there is no free during the processing. If true, we can be
sure that our information is correct so information is returned to user.
Although this way is rather complex, it has two important benefits
mentioned above. So, I think it is worth changing.
There is one drawback that it takes more time to get slab object owner
information but it is just a debug option so it doesn't matter at all.
To help review, this patch implements new way only. Following patch
will remove useless code.
