    #android #binder #rust

    For folks building systems with a more paranoid , do you use any "slub_debug" features beyond "slub_debug=ZF" (redzoning and verification) for security flaw ?

    e.g. "slub_debug=P" has been superseded by "init_on_alloc=1 init_on_free=1"...

    The flags are listed here:
