Slab warns, because the name of the cache being created contains spaces.
The "bad" cache is created by scsi_get_host_cmd_pool. Its name
(pool->cmd_name) is initialized by scsi_alloc_host_cmd_pool as follows:

        pool->cmd_name = kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "%s_cmd", hostt->name);

So, if hostt->name contains spaces, the cache name will also contain
spaces and we'll get the warning. And hostt->name can contain spaces,
e.g. virtscsi_host_template_single.name="Virtio SCSI HBA".

Or might not even be present.  I'll send a patch to replace it with
->proc_name, which must not contain spaces and is generally shorter
as well.


Is this what you thought?

No, he means this, if you want to try it.

Man, I just now read it correctly - "So, if hostt->name contains spaces".
Thanks.

I'll be back.


Yea, I can confirm it works! :)
No warnings.
