Yeah that would determine if its the fastpath code. Note that the new fastpath code may expose bugs that so far have been tolerated by the slab allocators. If a store of a NULL to the first word of an object occurs then this will be tolerated in 2.6.24 because slub will take it as the end of the object list and just forget about the remaining objects. The fastpath code will terminate with a NULL pointer deref. Enabling full debugging may get rid of the race due to the slowdown. It could help to just enable minimal debugging for the slab cache in which we see the issue. So do slub_debug=F,<affected cache> | ||||||||||||
