The patch titled SLUB: do proper locking during dma slab creation has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was slub-do-proper-locking-during-dma-slab-creation.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: SLUB: do proper locking during dma slab creation From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> We modify the kmalloc_cache_dma[] array without proper locking. Do the proper locking and undo the dma cache creation if another processor has already created it.
