The patch titled SLUB: remove useless masking of GFP_ZERO has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is slub-remove-useless-masking-of-gfp_zero.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: remove useless masking of GFP_ZERO From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> Remove a recently added useless masking of GFP_ZERO. GFP_ZERO is already masked out in new_slab() (See how it calls allocate_slab). No need to do it twice. This reverts the SLUB parts of 7fd272550bd43cc1d7289ef0ab2fa50de137e767.
