Subject: Re: [PATCH] staging: lustre: fix GFP_ATOMIC macro usage

Greg meant mempools not slab.  You should look at it.  It does what you
need for debugging and solves a couple other problems as well.

We have a leak checker in the kernel but most people disable it.  I
forget the config name.  There are a bunch of useful debug configs.

regards,
dan carpenter
