Its filename is slub-fix-clean-free_debug_processing-return-paths.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/slub-fix-clean-free_debug_processing-return-paths.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/slub-fix-clean-free_debug_processing-return-paths.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: Laura Abbott <labbott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: slub: fix/clean free_debug_processing return paths Since 19c7ff9ecd89 ("slub: Take node lock during object free checks") check_object has been incorrectly returning success as it follows the out label which just returns the node. Thanks to refactoring, the out and fail paths are now basically the same. Combine the two into one and just use a single label.
