[ Upstream commit 880cd276dff17ea29e9a8404275c9502b265afa7 ] All the root caches are linked into slab_root_caches which was introduced by the commit 510ded33e075 ("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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
