From a7f1d48585b34730765dcda09ead6edc4ac16a5c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlastimil Babka Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2021 16:54:34 -0700 Subject: mm: slub: fix slub_debug disabling for list of slabs Vijayanand Jitta reports: Consider the scenario where CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is set and we would want to disable slub_debug for few slabs. Using boot parameter with slub_debug=-,slab_name syntax doesn't work as expected i.e; only disabling debugging for the specified list of slabs. Instead it disables debugging for all slabs, which is wrong. This patch fixes it by delaying the moment when the global slub_debug flags variable is updated. In case a "slub_debug=-,slab_name" has been passed, the global flags remain as initialized (depending on CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON enabled or disabled) and are not simply reset to 0.
