The patch titled Subject: mm/slab_common.c: remove test if cache name is accessible has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was slab_common-remove-test-if-cache-name-is-accessible.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/slab_common.c: remove test if cache name is accessible Since db265eca7700 ("mm/sl[aou]b: Move duping of slab name to slab_common.c"), the kernel always duplicates the slab cache name when creating a slab cache, so the test if the slab name is accessible is useless.
