The patch titled Subject: mm/zswap: fix potential uninitialized pointer read on tmp has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-zswap-add-the-flag-can_sleep_mapped-fix-3.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into mm-zswap-add-the-flag-can_sleep_mapped.patch ------------------------------------------------------ From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/zswap: fix potential uninitialized pointer read on tmp In the case where zpool_can_sleep_mapped(pool) returns 0 then tmp is not allocated and tmp is then an uninitialized pointer. Later if entry is null, tmp is freed, hence free'ing an uninitialized pointer. Fix this by ensuring tmp is initialized to NULL.
