From: Vijayanand Jitta <[email protected]>
Consider the scenario where CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is set
and we would want to disable slub_debug for few slabs.
Using boot parameter with slub_debug=-,slab_name syntax
doesn't work as expected i.e; only disabling debugging for
the specified list of slabs, instead it disables debugging
for all slabs. Fix this.

Could you explain the check for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON here?
I don't believe that using `-' for slub_debug is *only* useful when
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is enabled.

Thanks for the review.
The check for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is for below scenario:
Consider CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is not set and the below boot parameter is
set incorrectly "slub_debug=-,slab_name", Now without the additional
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON check slab_list_debug_disable will still be true
and slub_debug will be set to DEBUG_DEFAULT_FLAGS instead of 0 as the
below check fails.
if (!global_slub_debug_changed && !slab_list_debug_disable)
slub_debug = 0;
> I don't believe that using `-' for slub_debug is *only* useful when

'-' is still useful in CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON disabled case even with the
above check, all the possible cases using '-' work as expected.
i.e;
slub_debug=-.slab_name
slub_debug=flag,slab_name;-,slab_name

Right, the below change would also work and its easier to follow as you

Subject: [PATCH] mm: slub: fix slub_debug disabling for list of slabs
Vijayanand Jitta reports:
Consider the scenario where CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is set
and we would want to disable slub_debug for few slabs.
Using boot parameter with slub_debug=-,slab_name syntax
doesn't work as expected i.e; only disabling debugging for
the specified list of slabs. Instead it disables debugging
for all slabs, which is wrong.
This patch fixes it by delaying the moment when the global slub_debug flags
variable is updated. In case a "slub_debug=-,slab_name" has been passed, the
global flags remain as initialized (depending on CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON enabled
or disabled) and are not simply reset to 0.
