The patch titled Subject: lib/test_meminit: optimize do_kmem_cache_rcu_persistent() test has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is lib-test_meminit-optimize-do_kmem_cache_rcu_persistent-test.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/lib-test_meminit-optimize-do_kmem_cache_rcu_persistent-test.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/lib-test_meminit-optimize-do_kmem_cache_rcu_persistent-test.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: lib/test_meminit: optimize do_kmem_cache_rcu_persistent() test To make the test more robust, there are the following changes: 1. add a check for the return value of kmem_cache_alloc(). 2. properly release the object `buf` on several error paths. 3. release the objects of `used_objects` if we never hit `saved_ptr`. 4. destroy the created cache by default.
