Here's what I had in mind:
Allow explictly mark allocated objects as "allocated here", so that they'll
show up that way for all slab debugging purposes. New helpers:
slab_charge_here(objp, cachep)
slab_charge_caller(objp, cachep)
mark object as allocated resp. by place where we have ...charge_here() called
and by the caller of function that calls slab_charge_caller().
It's useful when call chain leading to allocation in given cache always
ends the same way, making normal caller accounting uninformative. E.g.
allocation of struct socket is always done via sock_alloc() => new_inode() =>
alloc_inode() => sock_alloc_inode() => kmem_cache_alloc(). The last step
has no chance to give any useful information about the caller; adding
slab_charge_caller() in sock_alloc() will give us much more useful picture.
