Probably either you are trying to send it debug flags but CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG is not defined _OR_ you are trying to create the same SLAB cache twice (forgetting to destroy it on module unload perhaps)? Slab if fine, it's your code which is busted :) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
