The dmesg shows huge unreclaimable slabs used almost 100% memory, but kdump doesn't capture vmcore due to some reason. So, it may sound better to capture unreclaimable slab info in oom message when kernel panic to aid trouble shooting and cover the corner case. Since kernel already panic, so capturing more information sounds worthy and doesn't bother normal oom killer. With the patchset, tools/vm/slabinfo has a new option, "-U", to show unreclaimable slab only. And, oom will print all non zero (num_objs * size != 0) unreclaimable slabs in oom killer message. For details, please see the commit log for each commit.
