I don't think there is any bug at all. There is just the
annoyance of not knowing exactly what memory is
available; AFAIK you can not know that until you try
to use it.

The slab is not really a cache. In some cases it can
be a cache, but generally it isn't. It's regular kernel
memory allocations. (like a "malloc" for kernel use)
Sometimes some of these allocations will be freed
when you need memory for something else. There
is no way to tell.

Unless performance is going bad, there really isn't
any reason to worry. Memory usage values are
never going to be perfect or even close; getting them
closer would cost performance!
