The patch titled
SLUB: Do not use length parameter in slab_alloc()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
slub-do-not-use-length-parameter-in-slab_alloc.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: SLUB: Do not use length parameter in slab_alloc()
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx>
We can get to the length of the object through the kmem_cache_structure. The
additional parameter does no good and causes the compiler to generate bad
code.
