It depends on patch 1/2 -- ([PATCH SLAB 1/2 v3] duplicate the cache name in SLUB's saved_alias list, SLAB, and SLOB) in this mail thread. For SLUB, as the pgtables cache might be mergeable to other caches. During early boot, the name string is saved in the save_alias list. In this case, the name could be safely kfreed after calling kmem_cache_create() with patch 1. For SLAB/SLOB, we need the changes in patch 1, which duplicates the name strings in cache create. v3: with patch 1/2 updated to make slab/slob consistent, #ifdef CONFIG_SLUB is no longer needed.
