------------------------------------------------------ From: Gerald Schaefer gerald.schaefer@linux.ibm.com Subject: mm/slub: fix endianness bug for alloc/free_traces attributes

On big-endian s390, the alloc/free_traces attributes produce endless output, because of always 0 idx in slab_debugfs_show().

idx is de-referenced from *v, which points to a loff_t value, with

unsigned int idx = *(unsigned int *)v;

This will only give the upper 32 bits on big-endian, which remain 0.

Instead of only fixing this de-reference, during discussion it seemed more appropriate to change the seq_ops so that they use an explicit iterator in private loc_track struct.

This patch adds idx to loc_track, which will also fix the endianness bug.
