Kmem_cache_alloc_node is not capable of handling a null cachep pointer as its input argument. If I try to increase a slab limit by echoing a very large number into /proc/slabinfo, kernel will panic from alloc_arraycache() because Kmem_find_general_cachep() can actually return a NULL pointer if the size argument is sufficiently large.
