From: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/slub.c: trace free objects at KERN_INFO Currently when trace is enabled (e.g. slub_debug=T,kmalloc-128 ) the trace messages are mostly output at KERN_INFO. However the trace code also calls print_section() to hexdump the head of a free object. This is hard coded to use KERN_ERR, meaning the console is deluged with trace messages even if we've asked for quiet. Fix this the obvious way but adding a level parameter to print_section(), allowing calls from the trace code to use the same trace level as other trace messages.
