From 19c7ff9ecd89441096dab6a56f926f7df8ba850a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Wed, 30 May 2012 12:54:46 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] slub: Take node lock during object free checks Only applies to scenarios where debugging is on: Validation of slabs can currently occur while debugging information is updated from the fast paths of the allocator. This results in various races where we get false reports about slab metadata not being in order. This patch makes the fast paths take the node lock so that serialization with slab validation will occur. Causes additional slowdown in debug scenarios.
