The patch titled SLUB: simplify IRQ off handling has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was slub-simplify-irq-off-handling.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: SLUB: simplify IRQ off handling From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> Move irq handling out of new slab into __slab_alloc. That is useful for Mathieu's cmpxchg_local patchset and also allows us to remove the crude local_irq_off in early_kmem_cache_alloc().
