I definitely like that more than slab_debug=A, where we're requiring an added parameter for full debugging to be activated. I'm curious whether there would ever be any use for disabling debugging on specific caches for reasons other than higher minimum orders for metadata, though, given that we already support things like slub_debug=FZ,cache, which should only enable free debugging and redzoning even with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON enabled for cache. I think the solution to this is really based on good software engineering and test practices, though, so hopefully there'll be a consensus on which direction to take before any time is spent in implementing and pushing it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
