Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] slub_kunit: Add a test for the kmalloc_partition boot parameter
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 14:09:21 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <66f981ce04dfb01d02d1683bb18ba6db1c4eabd1.1793253633.git.chris@chrisdown.name> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1793253633.git.chris@chrisdown.name>

Check that the kmalloc partitions are separate caches by default, and
alias the normal kmalloc caches when they're turned off with
kmalloc_partition=0.
