The SLUB changes for 6.12 included new kunit tests that resulted in
noisy warnings, which we normally suppress, and a boot lockup in some
configurations in case the kunit tests are built-in.

The warnings are addressed in Patch 1.

The lockups I couldn't reproduce, but inspecting boot initialization
order makes me suspect the test_kfree_rcu() calling kfree_rcu() which is
too early before RCU finishes initialization.  Moving the exection later
was tried but broke tests marking their code as __init so Patch 2 skips
the test when the slub kunit tests are  built-in.

So these are now fixes for 4e1c44b3db79 ("kunit, slub: add
test_kfree_rcu() and test_leak_destroy()")

The plan is to take the fixes via slab tree for a 6.12 rcX.

Changes in v2:
- patch 2 skips the test when built-in instead of moving kunit execution
  later

I hope you can confirm it helps, because the commit added two tests and I've
only skipped one of them, as it's the one using kfree_rcu(), which is
suspected. But the other is responsible for the (now suppressed)
kmem_cache_destroy() warning, and maybe I'm missing something and it was
actually that one causing the lockups.

Since you mentioned the boot lockups happened on some x86_64 too, do you
have a .config of the lockup case? I've tried tweaking some rcu options but
still nothing.

Thanks!

Everything works with your patches applied, so we are good.

I have a bunch of debug options enabled. Configuration (generated using
"make savedefconfig") for x86_64 is attached.

Thanks for testing! Queued for -next now and will send to Linus later if
all's good.

Hmm, didn't see the hang with that (using virtme-ng) on v6.12-rc1. Guess
there's something more to it. Oh well.
