[linux-next]# ./scripts/faddr2line ./vmlinux ___slab_alloc+0x334 
___slab_alloc+0x334/0x760:
new_slab_objects at mm/slub.c:2478
(inlined by) ___slab_alloc at mm/slub.c:2628
[linux-next]# 

I have also attached boot log with a kernel that include about change.
I see the following o/p during boot:

[    0.005269] set_numa_mem 1 -> 1
