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.
