Subject: [GIT PULL] SLAB updates for 2.6.32-rc0
Hi Linus,
Here's the usual batch of SLAB allocator fixes and cleanups accumulated
over the past few months.
Pekka
The following changes since commit 0cc6d77e55eca9557bbe41bf2db94b31aa8fcb2a:
Linus Torvalds (1):
Merge branch 'x86-setup-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/.../tip/linux-2.6-tip

ssh://master.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/slab-2.6 for-linus
Aaro Koskinen (1):
SLUB: fix ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN cases 64 and 256
Amerigo Wang (1):
SLUB: Fix some coding style issues
David Rientjes (2):
slub: add option to disable higher order debugging slabs
slub: use size and objsize orders to disable debug flags
Eric Dumazet (1):
slub: fix slab_pad_check()
Pekka Enberg (1):
Merge branches 'slab/cleanups' and 'slab/fixes' into for-linus
WANG Cong (1):
SLUB: Drop write permission to /proc/slabinfo
Wu Fengguang (1):

+Debugging options may require the minimum possible slab order to increase as
+a result of storing the metadata (for example, caches with PAGE_SIZE object
+sizes). This has a higher liklihood of resulting in slab allocation errors
+in low memory situations or if there's high fragmentation of memory. To
+switch off debugging for such caches by default, use

In case you forgot to enable debugging on the kernel command line: It is
possible to enable debugging manually when the kernel is up. Look at the
