Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] slub: Enable backtrace for create/delete points.
Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2011 17:47:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1309308462-20124-2-git-send-email-greearb@candelatech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1309308462-20124-1-git-send-email-greearb@candelatech.com>

From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>

This patch attempts to grab a backtrace for the creation
and deletion points of the slub object.  When a fault is
detected, we can then get a better idea of where the item
was deleted.

Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>

v2:  Fix compile when CONFIG_STACKTRACE is not enabled
    (It is required for this particular feature.)
