Subject: slab: convert setup_slub_debug() to use __core_param_cb()
X-Git-Tag: v6.19-rc1~183^2~5
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=aed760df8e8ebc2035561e53bef184e6a8240610;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

slab: convert setup_slub_debug() to use __core_param_cb()

Use __core_param_cb() to parse the "slab_debug" kernel parameter instead of
the obsolescent __setup(). For now, the parameter is not exposed in sysfs,
and no get ops is provided.

There is a slight change in behavior. Before this patch, the following
parameter would silently turn on full debugging for all slabs:

  slub_debug_yada_yada_gotta_love_this=hail_satan!

This syntax is now rejected, and the parameter will be passed to user
space, making the kernel a holier place.
