  When I've used slub_debug kernel option (e.g.
  "slub_debug=,skbuff_fclone_cache" or similar) on a debug session I've
  seen a panic like:

    Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

  Problem is that slub_debug option is not parsed before
  create_boot_cache is called. Solve this by changing slub_debug to
  early_param.

  Kernels 3.11, 3.10 are also affected.  I am not sure about older
  kernels.

Christoph Lameter explains:

  kmem_cache_flags may be called with NULL parameter during early boot.
  Skip the test in that case.
