The patch titled Subject: mm/slab: remove the checks for slab implementation bug has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-slab-remove-the-checks-for-slab-implementation-bug.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-slab-remove-the-checks-for-slab-implementation-bug.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-slab-remove-the-checks-for-slab-implementation-bug.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Joonsoo Kim <js1304@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/slab: remove the checks for slab implementation bug Some of "#if DEBUG" are for reporting slab implementation bug rather than user usecase bug. It's not really needed because slab is stable for a quite long time and it makes code too dirty. This patch remove it.
