Description Arjan van de Ven 2007-11-22 19:18:50 UTC 
Description of problem:

the F8 kernel breaks the very useful "slabtop" utility (from the F8 procps
package)... by not having /proc/slabinfo anymore

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install procps
2. run "slabtop"
3. weep
Comment 1 Chuck Ebbert 2007-11-26 15:42:39 UTC 
Did you try compiling Documentation/vm/slabinfo.c ?
Comment 2 Dave Jones 2007-11-27 03:49:43 UTC 
that program should probably be added to procps.
Comment 3 Chuck Ebbert 2008-01-08 22:44:39 UTC 
Fix in CVS, /proc/slabinfo is back.
