OK. That patch fixes this problem.

Commit b1cb0982 changed the way of walking objects, didn't it? Then,
it could happen that slab leak detector code walking all objects
triggers an oops.

I see. Here is a minimal kernel config and test script for qemu on CentOS 6.5.

		printf("Reading /proc/slab_allocators\n");
		while (fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer), fp));
		fclose(fp);
	}
	printf("Shutting down.\n");
	reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_OFF);
