Subject: POSSIBLE BUG: Debugging Not Automatically Activated in Slab.c
Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2002 21:55:38 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000a01c29da4$8235b370$8c43d03f@joe> (raw)
Before I submit this as an actually bug, I'd like the input of some people
who know a little more about the Slab Allocator and Kernel Debugging.
The Slab Allocator includes this line:
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
in slab.c (line 89) to activate debugging.
However, I couldn't find anywhere in the code where CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is
linked to CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL. In other words, setting the kernel as a
debug kernel doesn't automatically set the Slab Allocator to debug too.
1) Am I missing something?
2) Is this intentional or by design?
If this is an actually bug, it can be fixed by inserting the following code
in slab.h immediately following the #include statements:
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL
#define CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
#endif
