The patch titled SLUB: Do not allocate object bit array on stack has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is slub-do-not-allocate-object-bit-array-on-stack.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: Do not allocate object bit array on stack From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> The objects per slab increase with the current patches in mm since we allow up to order 3 allocs by default. More patches in mm actually allow to use 2M or higher sized slabs. For slab validation we need per object bitmaps in order to check a slab. We end up with up to 64k objects per slab resulting in a potential requirement of 8K stack space. That does not look good. Allocate the bit arrays via kmalloc.
