Stupid me. n on both sides of the comparison. Tried to run your script 
here but I cannot trigger it.

Next attempt: Sorry for the churn.

SLUB: Fix behavior if the text output of list_locations overflows PAGE_SIZE

If slabs are allocated or freed from a large set of call sites (typical
for the kmalloc area) then we may create more output than fits into
a single PAGE and sysfs only gives us one page. The output should be
truncated. This patch fixes the checks to do the truncation properly.
