The patch titled SLUB: Fix numa bootstrap has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was slub-fix-numa-bootstrap.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into slub-core.patch ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: SLUB: Fix numa bootstrap From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> NUMA bootstrap calls new_slab() if more than one node is found on bootup. new_slab() assumes a standard slab context where interrupts must be disabled. It enables interrupts for the call into the page allocator and then disables them again. Interrupts do not have to be disabled during on bootstrap because we still run single threaded there. I dropped the interrupt preservation code just before SLUB v6 because it looked useless there. SLUB worked on the following NUMA tests that just had a single node. Sigh. Enable interrupts after calling new_slab.
