Revert "slab: remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC"
This reverts commit a640616822b2 ("slab: remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC"). commit a640616822b2 ("slab: remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC") assumes that the system with !CONFIG_NUMA has only one memory node. But, it turns out to be false by the report from Geert. His system, m68k, has many memory nodes and is configured in !CONFIG_NUMA. So it couldn't boot with above change. Here goes his failure report. With latest mainline, I'm getting a crash during bootup on m68k/ARAnyM: enable_cpucache failed for radix_tree_node, error 12. kernel BUG at /scratch/geert/linux/linux-m68k/mm/slab.c:1522! *** TRAP #7 *** FORMAT=0 Current process id is 0 BAD KERNEL TRAP: 00000000 Modules linked in: PC: [<0039c92c>] kmem_cache_init_late+0x70/0x8c SR: 2200 SP: 00345f90 a2: 0034c2e8 d0: 0000003d d1: 00000000 d2: 00000000 d3: 003ac942 d4: 00000000 d5: 00000000 a0: 0034f686 a1: 0034f682 Process swapper (pid: 0, task=0034c2e8) Frame format=0 Stack from 00345fc4: 002f69ef 002ff7e5 000005f2 000360fa 0017d806 003921d4 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 003ac942 00000000 003912d6 Call Trace: [<000360fa>] parse_args+0x0/0x2ca [<0017d806>] strlen+0x0/0x1a [<003921d4>] start_kernel+0x23c/0x428 [<003912d6>] _sinittext+0x2d6/0x95e Code: f7e5 4879 002f 69ef 61ff ffca 462a 4e47 <4879> 0035 4b1c 61ff fff0 0cc4 7005 23c0 0037 fd20 588f 265f 285f 4e75 48e7 301c Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task! Although there is a alternative way to fix this issue such as disabling use of alien cache on !CONFIG_NUMA, but, reverting issued commit is better to me in this time.
