commit a360f311f57a36e96d88fa8086b749159714dcd2 upstream. This was attempted by using the dev_name in the slab cache name, but as Omar Sandoval pointed out, that can be an arbitrary string, eg something like "/dev/root". Which in turn trips verify_dirent_name(), which fails if a filename contains a slash. So just make it use a sequence counter, and make it an atomic_t to avoid any possible races or locking issues.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
