One thing I'm not sure about this patch is whether it manages to record an allocation only once, i.e. does it log a single event when/if the slab allocator requests pages? Some time ago I sent a patch adding GFP_NOTRACE to gfp.h, but was rejected. Maybe this could be a way out of the mess.
(GFP_NOTRACE would also allow us to log "backend" allocations easily and treat them separately, for the record, or simply filter them out.)
makes a lot of sense IMO to annotate these via a GFP flag.
