The patch titled Subject: slab: make GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK information more human readable has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is slab-make-gfp_slab_bug_mask-information-more-human-readable.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/slab-make-gfp_slab_bug_mask-information-more-human-readable.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/slab-make-gfp_slab_bug_mask-information-more-human-readable.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Subject: slab: make GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK information more human readable printk offers %pGg for quite some time so let's use it to get a human readable list of invalid flags.
