The patch titled Subject: mm: slab: free kmem_cache_node after destroy sysfs file has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-slab-free-kmem_cache_node-after-destroy-sysfs-file.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-slab-free-kmem_cache_node-after-destroy-sysfs-file.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-slab-free-kmem_cache_node-after-destroy-sysfs-file.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: Dmitry Safonov <dsafonov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: slab: free kmem_cache_node after destroy sysfs file WHen slub_debug is enabled, alloc_calls_show() will try to track location and user of slab objects on each online node. kmem_cache_node structure and cpu_cache/cpu_slub shouldn't be freed till there is the last reference to sysfs file.
