Subject: mm/slub.c: trace free objects at KERN_INFO
From: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit aa2efd5ea4041754da4046c3d2e7edaac9526258 upstream.
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.
