Subject: slub: restore slub_debug=- behavior
Petch series "slub: Print non-hashed pointers in slub debugging", v3.
I was doing some debugging recently and noticed that my pointers were
being hashed while slub_debug was on the kernel commandline. Let's force
on the no hash pointer option when slub_debug is on the kernel commandline
so that the prints are more meaningful.
The first two patches are something else I noticed while looking at the
code. The message argument is never used so the debugging messages are
not as clear as they could be and the slub_debug=- behavior seems to be
busted. Then there's a printf fixup from Joe and the final patch is the
one that force disables pointer hashing.
This patch (of 4):
Passing slub_debug=- on the kernel commandline is supposed to disable slub
debugging. This is especially useful with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON where the
default is to have slub debugging enabled in the build. Due to some code
reorganization this behavior was dropped, but the code to make it work
mostly stuck around. Restore the previous behavior by disabling the
static key when we parse the commandline and see that we're trying to
disable slub debugging.
