From 2a999aa0a10f4d0d9a57a06974df620f8a856239 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:33:36 -0700 Subject: Kconfig: make KOBJECT_RELEASE debugging require timer debugging Without the timer debugging, the delayed kobject release will just result in undebuggable oopses if it triggers any latent bugs. That doesn't actually help debugging at all. So make DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE depend on DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS to avoid having people enable one without the other.

Unfortunately, the commit may introduce a potential bug: - Before sending some SCSI commands, kmalloc() buffer may be passed to block layper, so flush_kernel_dcache_page() can see a slab page finally - According to cachetlb.txt, flush_kernel_dcache_page() is only called on "a user page", which surely can't be a slab page. - ARCH's implementation of flush_kernel_dcache_page() may use page mapping information to do optimization so page_mapping() will see the slab page, then VM_BUG_ON() is triggered. Aaro Koskinen reported the bug on ARM/kirkwood when DEBUG_VM is enabled, and this patch fixes the bug by adding test of '!PageSlab(miter->page)' before calling flush_kernel_dcache_page().
