The patch titled
Subject: genalloc: freeing const data pointers
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
genalloc-add-support-of-multiple-gen_pools-per-device-fix-2.patch
This patch was dropped because it was folded into genalloc-add-support-of-multiple-gen_pools-per-device.patch
------------------------------------------------------
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: genalloc: freeing const data pointers
"pool->name" can be kmalloc()ed or const so we need to free it with
kfree_const().
I also cleaned up the error path in devm_gen_pool_create() a bit. With
the current code you have to change the kfree() in multiple places which
is bug prone (my first draft of this patch had a bug).
Fixes: e89a70fd54f2 ('genalloc: add support of multiple gen_pools per device')
