Well this code is just an optimization for a rare case.
Your patch may not handle the debug situation the right way.
Oh? How?

The count of active Objects shown by Slub's slabinfo is too approximate,
because each cpu slab is counted as all in use, even when lots are free.
That makes tracing leaks harder than it need be.

The difference is of course at 0x0E, not 0x1E. Maybe the byte at 0x0A
is 0x92 for 4 IR contents and 0xA2 for 8 contents. That would also
make sense wrt the broken 6306 as it has 0x00 there.
Somebody pointed me to this thread in a support forum of Asustek:
fpi-cp_command should be overwritten only if CONFIG_PPC_CPM_NEW_BINDING
is NOT set. Otherwise it is already set from the device tree.

Perhaps it'll be a patch I need to use in my own builds.
Though I'd have thought others would want that accuracy too.
Didn't SLAB give it? (The r*gr*ss**n word!)
Slab also only counts objects that are

Hi,
This is the second iteration of the patches that add a new testing facility for
suspend and hibernation.
The first patch adds the possibility to test the suspend (STD) core code
without actually suspending, which is useful for tracking problems with drivers
etc.
The second one modifies the

the newly introduced testing facilities.

The sizeof(struct device) is way too big, especially in the network device case.
We want to support 1000's of device's and the change from class_device to
net_device has caused needless bloat.
sizeof(struct device) = 272
sizeof(struct class_device) = 92
