How to enable SLUB debugging with options for Sanity Check, Red Zoning, Poisoning and User Tracking (free and alloc) ?

Solution Verified - Updated 2021-01-13T04:46:03+00:00 -

Issue

The kernel crashes and a vmcore file is captured sometimes.
Red Hat engineer suggested it was very likely that the kernel crashed due to a corruption on a freelist pointer caused by a possible slab use-after-free/corruption.
Also suggested enabling SLUB debugging with sanity check, red zoning, poisoning and user tracking for us to capture the very beginning of the slab corruption to find the root cause.
How do we enable SLUB debugging with those options?
