From ba0268a8b056f2ad846f1f8837a764c21bb6425e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2007 15:24:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] SLUB: accurately compare debug flags during slab cache merge This was posted on Aug 28 and fixes an issue that could cause troubles when slab caches >=128k are created. http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118798149918424&w=2 Currently we simply add the debug flags unconditional when checking for a matching slab. This creates issues for sysfs processing when slabs exist that are exempt from debugging due to their huge size or because only a subset of slabs was selected for debugging. We need to only add the flags if kmem_cache_open() would also add them. Create a function to calculate the flags that would be set if the cache would be opened and use that function to determine the flags before looking for a compatible slab.
