The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/kasan: fix null pointer dereference warning in qlink_to_cache() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-kasan-fix-null-pointer-dereference-warning-in-qlink_to_cache.patch This patch was dropped because it was nacked ------------------------------------------------------ From: Gautam Menghani <gautammenghani201@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/kasan: fix null pointer dereference warning in qlink_to_cache() Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2022 22:33:55 +0530 virt_to_slab() declared in slab.h can return NULL if the address does not belong to a slab. This case is not handled in qlink_to_cache() in quarantine.c, which can cause a NULL pointer dereference in "virt_to_slab(qlink)->slab_cache".
