I'd say just pack as much as fit into the space and then create a new line if there are too many aliases of the slab. > I'm assuming the way slabinfo gets the names (or at least the way I can think > of doing it) it so just look for entries in /sys/slab that are links. It scans for symlinks pointing to that strange name.
