------------------------------------------------------
Subject: mm/slab.c: fix early init assumption
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>
The SLAB bootstrap code assumes that the first two kmalloc caches created
(the INDEX_AC and INDEX_L3 kmalloc caches) wont be off-slab. But due to AC
and L3 structure size increase in lockdep, one of them ended up being
off-slab, and subsequently crashing with:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 RIP:
[<ffffffff80267478>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x26/0x7d
The fix is to introduce a bootstrap flag and to use it to prevent off-slab
caches being created so early during bootup.
(The calculation for off-slab caches is quite complex so i didnt want to
complicate things with introducing yet another INDEX_ calculation, the flag
approach is simpler and smaller.)
