The patch titled SLUB sysfs support: fix unique id generation has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is slub-core-sysfs-support-fix-unique-id-generation.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: SLUB sysfs support: fix unique id generation From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> Generate a unique id for mergeable slabs through combining the slab size with the flags that distinguish slabs of the same size. That yields a unique id that is fairly short and descriptive. It no longer includes the kmem_cache address. Extract slab_unmergable() from find_mergeable and use that in sysfs_add_slab to make handling more consistent.
