Hmmm... Bad. We have conflicting reports and no clear way to trigger the bug. This may actually only trigger depending on how certain objects is place in memory. Could you boot with slub_debug and then run slabinfo -v to validate all slabs? If there is anything wrong with an object then it should show in the syslog. slabinfo.c can be found at Documentation/vm/slabinfo.c > Oh, while at it, I created this patch (to ask you more info on what > slub_nomerge is for): See Documentation/vm/slub.txt which covers most of those. slub_nomerge is not mentioned. It removes an optimization and that is only useful for debugging strange cornercases. I hope to remove it someday. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
