The commit below is incomplete, as it didn't handle the add_full() part.

This should be functionally safe, I'm wonder if it would make sense to
only check for SLAB_STORE_USER here instead of kmem_cache_debug(),
however, since that should be the only context in which we need the
list_lock for add_full()? It seems more explicit.

Yes, checking for SLAB_STORE_USER here can also get rid of noising macros.
I will resend the patch later.

Thanks,

Wait... It still needs CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG to wrap around, but can avoid
locking overhead when SLAB_STORE_USER is not set (as what you said).
I will keep the CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG in my new patch.
