I'm not sure I clearly understand the problems you're pointing
me to.

what we have in slabinfo as slab_size(), ->object_size, etc.
comming from slub's sysfs attrs:

	chdir("/sys/kernel/slab")
	while readdir
		...
		slab->object_size = get_obj("object_size");
		slab->slab_size = get_obj("slab_size");
		...

and attr show handlers are:

...
 static ssize_t slab_size_show(struct kmem_cache *s, char *buf)
 {
 	return sprintf(buf, "%d\n", s->size);
 }
 SLAB_ATTR_RO(slab_size);

 static ssize_t object_size_show(struct kmem_cache *s, char *buf)
 {
 	return sprintf(buf, "%d\n", s->object_size);
 }
 SLAB_ATTR_RO(object_size);
...

so those are sprintf("%d") of `struct kmem_cache'-s `int'
values.


> total_used and total_objects are unsigned long long.

yes, that's correct.
but `total_used / total_objects' cannot be larger that the size
of the largest object, which is represented in the kernel and
returned to user space as `int'. it must fit into `unsigned int'.

... in case if someday `struct kmem_cache' will be updated to keep
`unsigned long' sized objects and sysfs attrs will do sprintf("%lu")?
IOW, if slabs will keep objects bigger that 4gig?
