[PATCH v2 0/4] slub: Print non-hashed pointers in slub debugging

From: Stephen Boyd
Date: Tue May 25 2021 - 22:56:35 EST


I was doing some debugging recently and noticed that my pointers were
being hashed while slub_debug was on the kernel commandline. Let's force
on the no hash pointer option when slub_debug is on the kernel
commandline so that the prints are more meaningful.

The first two patches are something else I noticed while looking at the
code. The message argument is never used so the debugging messages are
not as clear as they could be and the slub_debug=- behavior seems to be
busted. Then there's a printf fixup from Joe and the final patch is the
one that force disables pointer hashing.

Changes from v1
* Dropped the hexdump printing format
* Forced on the no_hash_pointers option instead of pushing %px

Joe Perches (1):
slub: Indicate slab_fix() uses printf formats

Stephen Boyd (3):
slub: Restore slub_debug=- behavior
slub: Actually use 'message' in restore_bytes()
slub: Force on no_hash_pointers when slub_debug is enabled
