[PATCH slab hotfixes v2 0/2] slub kunit tests fixes for 6.12

From: Vlastimil Babka
Date: Tue Oct 01 2024 - 12:24:15 EST


The SLUB changes for 6.12 included new kunit tests that resulted in
noisy warnings, which we normally suppress, and a boot lockup in some
configurations in case the kunit tests are built-in.

The warnings are addressed in Patch 1.

The lockups I couldn't reproduce, but inspecting boot initialization
order makes me suspect the test_kfree_rcu() calling kfree_rcu() which is
too early before RCU finishes initialization. Moving the exection later
was tried but broke tests marking their code as __init so Patch 2 skips
the test when the slub kunit tests are built-in.

So these are now fixes for 4e1c44b3db79 ("kunit, slub: add
test_kfree_rcu() and test_leak_destroy()")

The plan is to take the fixes via slab tree for a 6.12 rcX.
