Please do not attach patches to emails when sending to LKML, they are 
preferred to be inline.  See Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

Please describe your new slub_debug=a option here as well as in an update 
to Documentation/vm/slub.txt.

As I said in the first review, these need to be more descriptive: 'flags' 
would be better.

cachep->flags for CONFIG_SLAB is of type unsigned int and 
should_failslab() takes an unsigned long.

As I mentioned in my first review of your patch, this breaks for 
CONFIG_FAILSLAB=n.  Please make sure your patch compiles for the 
defconfig.
