The routine that applies debug flags to the kmem_cache slabs inadvertantly prevents non-debug flags from being applied to those same objects. That is, if slub_debug=<flag>,<slab> is specified, non-debugged slabs will end up having flags of zero, and the slabs may be unusable. Fix this by including the input flags for non-matching slabs with the contents of slub_debug, so that the caches are created as expected alongside any debugging options that may be requested. With this, we can remove the check for a NULL slub_debug_string, since it's covered by the loop itself.

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.
