The patch titled Subject: mm/slab: rerform init_on_free earlier has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-slab-perform-init_on_free-earlier.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexander Popov <alex.popov@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/slab: rerform init_on_free earlier Currently in CONFIG_SLAB init_on_free happens too late, and heap objects go to the heap quarantine not being erased. Lets move init_on_free clearing before calling kasan_slab_free(). In that case heap quarantine will store erased objects, similarly to CONFIG_SLUB=y behavior.
