[PATCH] slub: dump more data on slab corruption

From: Pekka J Enberg
Date: Fri Jul 18 2008 - 10:30:28 EST


From: Pekka Enberg <penberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The limit to 128 bytes is too small when debugging slab corruption of the skb
cache, for example. Increase the limit to PAGE_SIZE to make debugging
corruptions sligthly easier.
