[PATCH] mm/slab: fix kmemcheck.c build errors

From: Randy Dunlap
Date: Fri Sep 05 2014 - 03:18:13 EST


If we turn on CONFIG_KMEMCHECK,
mm-slab_common-move-kmem_cache-definition-to-internal-header.patch
in mmotm makes following build failure.

../mm/kmemcheck.c:70:7: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
../mm/kmemcheck.c:83:15: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
../mm/kmemcheck.c:95:8: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
../mm/kmemcheck.c:95:21: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

Reason for this failure is that kmemcheck uses internal fields of struct
kmem_cache and above patch moves these struct kmem_cache definitions to
mm/slab.h, so kmemcheck which only includes include/linux/slab.h can't
dereference them.

Add header file mm/slab.h in kmemcheck.c to fix kmemcheck.c build errors.

There is one more problem revealing from this change.
mm/slab.h uses memcg's internal fields so it needs memcontrol.h. Util now,
only sl[aou]b use mm/slab.h header, and they luckilly include memcontrol.h
through swap.h so no problems happen. Unfortunately, kmemcheck doesn't
include memcontrol.h so problem happens if we add mm/slab.h in kmemcheck.c.
To fix it too, add memcontrol.h into mm/slab.h.

[iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx] add commit description and move up memcontrol.h
header to fix build failure if CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y too.
