The patch titled Subject: mm/page_alloc: add __alloc_size attributes for better bounds checking has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-page_alloc-add-__alloc_size-attributes-for-better-bounds-checking.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/page_alloc: add __alloc_size attributes for better bounds checking As already done in GrapheneOS, add the __alloc_size attribute for appropriate page allocator interfaces, to provide additional hinting for better bounds checking, assisting CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE and other compiler optimizations.
