The patch titled SLUB: accurately compare debug flags during slab cache merge has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was slub-accurately-compare-debug-flags-during-slab-cache-merge.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: SLUB: accurately compare debug flags during slab cache merge From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> This was posted on Aug 28 and fixes an issue that could cause troubles when slab caches >=128k are created. http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118798149918424&w=2 Currently we simply add the debug flags unconditional when checking for a matching slab. This creates issues for sysfs processing when slabs exist that are exempt from debugging due to their huge size or because only a subset of slabs was selected for debugging. We need to only add the flags if kmem_cache_open() would also add them. Create a function to calculate the flags that would be set if the cache would be opened and use that function to determine the flags before looking for a compatible slab.
