           Summary: slabinfo description inaccurate (out of date?)
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
        AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/vQLgFONoPN62D2FQJk+8+b@public.gmane.org
        ReportedBy: bfields-uC3wQj2KruNg9hUCZPvPmw@public.gmane.org
        Regression: No


"man slabinfo" claims, for example, that the fifth column is "the  number  of 
pages with at least one active object", when /proc/slabinfo on my (2.6.32)
machine uses it for number of objects per slab.  Presumably the format it
describes is outdated (example shows version 1.1, current is 2.1).

This is from Ubuntu (Lucid)'s 3.23-1.

--- Comment #1 from Jorge Nerín <jnerin-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> ---
As of man-pages 3.51 this is still the case, but perhaps the correct thing to
do being it a kernel file should be to add a note directing users to read
current /usr/src/linux/Documentation/vm/slub.txt and/or play with
/usr/src/linux/tools/vm/slabinfo.c
