Subject: slub: automatically reserve bytes at the end of slab
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.39-rc1~388^2~1^2~1^2~2

slub: automatically reserve bytes at the end of slab

There is no "struct" for slub's slab, it shares with struct page.
But struct page is very small, it is insufficient when we need
to add some metadata for slab.

So we add a field "reserved" to struct kmem_cache, when a slab
is allocated, kmem_cache->reserved bytes are automatically reserved
at the end of the slab for slab's metadata.

Changed from v1:
	Export the reserved field via sysfs
