Hi Linus,
please pull the latest slab updates from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab.git tags/slab-for-6.13
One new feature and non-critical fixes (mostly related to debugging).
No conflicts to be expected, AFAIK.
After merging the last batch of pull requests which included VFS and
SLAB into my linus-next[1] tree I've started seeing consistent boot and
runtime failures both on LKFT[2] and KernelCI[3]. I'm going to start
bisection, but given the amount of content that went in it might take a
day or two.
It seems that this is something in the interaction between VFS and SLAB:
