mm, slub: make remaining slub_debug related attributes read-only
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.
