The slab mechanism does not have a functionality when it comes to defer of destroying, i.e. it is not allowed to destroy non-fully-freed-slab: void kmem_cache_destroy(struct kmem_cache *s) { ... err = shutdown_cache(s); WARN(err, "%s %s: Slab cache still has objects when called from %pS", __func__, s->name, (void *)_RET_IP_); ...
