    [PATCH] single bit flip detector · aa83aa40
    Dave Jones 提交于
    In cases where we detect a single bit has been flipped, we spew the usual
    slab corruption message, which users instantly think is a kernel bug.  In a
    lot of cases, single bit errors are down to bad memory, or other hardware
    failure.
    
    This patch adds an extra line to the slab debug messages in those cases, in
    the hope that users will try memtest before they report a bug.

    Single bit error detected. Possibly bad RAM. Run memtest86.
