Subject: "slab: Fix missing DEBUG_SLAB last user" breaks ARM
Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2011 18:06:07 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110207180606.GB2966@flint.arm.linux.org.uk> (raw)

commit 5c5e3b33 appears to break ARM thusly:

| kernel BUG at /home/rmk/git/linux-2.6-rmk/mm/slab.c:2928!

This hasn't been noticed as I guess not many people use SLAB on ARM
anymore, and even less people probably have SLAB debugging enabled.
With SLAB debugging disabled, the system appears to behave correctly -
or maybe the problem is just hidden.
