SLUB_DEBUG creates several files under /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/ that can be read to check if the respective debugging options are enabled for given cache. Some options, namely sanity_checks, trace, and failslab can be also enabled and disabled at runtime by writing into the files. The runtime toggling is racy. Some options disable __CMPXCHG_DOUBLE when enabled, which means that in case of concurrent allocations, some can still use __CMPXCHG_DOUBLE and some not, leading to potential corruption. The s->flags field is also not updated or checked atomically. The simplest solution is to remove the runtime toggling. The extended slub_debug boot parameter syntax introduced by earlier patch should allow to fine-tune the debugging configuration during boot with same granularity.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
