After commitd6a71648db("mm/slab: kmalloc: pass requests larger than order-1 page to page allocator"), SLAB passes large ( > PAGE_SIZE * 2) requests to buddy like SLUB does. SLAB has been using kmalloc caches to allocate freelist_idx_t array for off slab caches. But after the commit, freelist_size can be bigger than KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE. Instead of using pointer to kmalloc cache, use kmalloc_node() and only check if the kmalloc cache is off slab during calculate_slab_order(). If freelist_size > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE, no looping condition happens as it allocates freelist_idx_t array directly from buddy.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
