The output for the failing allocations when you disabling debugging. For
that I would think that you need remove(!) the slub_debug statement on the kernel
command line. You can verify that debug is off by inspecting the values in
/sys/kernel/slab/<yourcache>/<debug option>

No it does no longer. I dont think slub_debug=O does disable debugging
(frankly I am not sure what it does). Please do not specify any debug options.
