This is a first stab at such functionality. It adds #ifdef CONFIG_STABLE for now. Maybe we can come up with some better way to handle it later. There should alsol be some way to set CONFIG_STABLE from the Makefile. CONFIG_STABLE switches off - kmalloc(0) check in both slab allocators - SLUB banner - Makes SLUB tolerate object corruption like SLAB (not sure if we really want to go down this route. See patch) -- - 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/
