I see size-64 "inuse" objects increasing. Eventually, it fills

is not cleaning up all the allocations :(

But one question I have is - Is it possible to hold size-64 slab,
because it has a management allocation (slabp - 40 byte allocations)
from alloc_slabmgmt() ?  I remember seeing this earlier. Is it worth
moving all managment allocations to its own slab ? should I try it ?
Nope. Moving "slabp" allocations to its own slab, didn't fix anything.
I guess scsi-debug is not cleaning up properly :(

Thanks,
