The patch titled Subject: slub: make ->inuse unsigned int has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is slub-make-inuse-unsigned-int.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/slub-make-inuse-unsigned-int.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/slub-make-inuse-unsigned-int.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/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: slub: make ->inuse unsigned int ->inuse is "the number of bytes in actual use by the object", can't be negative.
