The patch titled Subject: mm: slub: fix slab walking for init_on_free has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-slub-fix-slab-walking-for-init_on_free.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Laura Abbott <labbott@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: slub: fix slab walking for init_on_free To properly clear the slab on free with slab_want_init_on_free, we walk the list of free objects using get_freepointer/set_freepointer. The value we get from get_freepointer may not be valid. This isn't an issue since an actual value will get written later but this means there's a chance of triggering a bug if we use this value with set_freepointer: [ 4.478342] kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:306!
