When debugging is enabled, slub requires that additional metadata be stored in slabs for certain options: SLAB_RED_ZONE, SLAB_POISON, and SLAB_STORE_USER. Consequently, it may require that the minimum possible slab order needed to allocate a single object be greater when using these options. The most notable example is for objects that are PAGE_SIZE bytes in size. Higher minimum slab orders may cause page allocation failures when oom or under heavy fragmentation. This patch adds a new slub_debug option, which disables debugging by default for caches that would have resulted in higher minimum orders: slub_debug=O When this option is used on systems with 4K pages, kmalloc-4096, for example, will not have debugging enabled by default even if CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is defined because it would have resulted in a order-1 minimum slab order.
