Subject: kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3689!
While trying to get SLUB debugging to not break DMA on AVR32, I ran
into this:
(...)
adding slab: name=kmalloc-64 size=64 objsize=64
adding slab: name=kmalloc-32 size=32 objsize=32
adding slab: name=kmalloc-16 size=32 objsize=16
kobject_add failed for :0000032 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.
Call trace:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
The "adding slab" messages were added by me; see the patch below.
I think the combination that triggered this bug was:
* CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y
* ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN=32
* slub_debug not set at the command line
If I disable CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG or add slub_debug to the command line,
everything is fine.
Please let me know if you need any additional information.
