The patch titled
Subject: zswap: potential NULL dereference on error in init_zswap()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: zswap: potential NULL dereference on error in init_zswap()
The "pool" pointer can be NULL at the end of the init_zswap(). (We would
allocate a new pool later in that situation.) So in the error handling
then we need to make sure pool is a valid pointer before calling
"zswap_pool_destroy(pool);" because that function dereferences the
argument.
