The patch titled SLUB slab validation: Alloc while interrupts are disabled must use GFP_ATOMIC has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is group-short-lived-and-reclaimable-kernel-allocations-fix.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: SLUB slab validation: Alloc while interrupts are disabled must use GFP_ATOMIC From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> The data structure to manage the information gathered about functions allocating and freeing objects is allocated when the list_lock has already been taken. We need to allocate with GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_TEMPORARY.
