Does this patch fix the issue?

Unfortunately no.

AFAIR I didn't see it in 2.6.22-rc4-mm2

Seems that I miscounted. We need a larger safe area.


SLUB: Fix behavior if the text output of list_locations overflows PAGE_SIZE

If slabs are allocated or freed from a large set of call sites (typical 
for the kmalloc area) then we may create more output than fits into
a single PAGE and sysfs only gives us one page. The output should be
truncated. This patch fixes the checks to do the truncation properly.
