What, where you complained about slab's page allocations showing up in the
profile instead of slab, and I pointed out to you that actually each and every
slab call is instrumented, and you're just seeing some double counting (that we
will no doubt fix?)
Or when you complained about allocation sites where it should actually be the
caller that should be instrumented, and I pointed out that it'd be quite easy to
simply change that code to use _kmalloc() and slab_tag_add() directly, if it
becomes an issue.
Of course, if we got that far, we'd have this code to thank for telling us where
to look!
Did I miss anything?
