Hello. I was compiling Ubuntu 7.10's kernel and I encountered OOM-killer.
I saw /proc/meminfo and it seems to me that slab is leaking memory. But /usr/bin/slabtop claims /proc/slabinfo is missing. I couldn't continue the compilation before reboot. I could continue the compilation after reboot. So, I think this is a memory leak. How can I find slab that uses so much memory?
