From: Eric Farman <farman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm, slub: restore initial kmem_cache flags The routine that applies debug flags to the kmem_cache slabs inadvertantly prevents non-debug flags from being applied to those same objects. That is, if slub_debug=<flag>,<slab> is specified, non-debugged slabs will end up having flags of zero, and the slabs may be unusable. Fix this by including the input flags for non-matching slabs with the contents of slub_debug, so that the caches are created as expected alongside any debugging options that may be requested. With this, we can remove the check for a NULL slub_debug_string, since it's covered by the loop itself.
