Common [01/16] slub: Add debugging to verify correct cache use on kmem_cache_free()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add additional debugging to check that the objects is actually from the cache
the caller claims. Doing so currently trips up some other debugging code. It
takes a lot to infer from that what was happening.
