The patch titled Subject: mm: slub: fix conversion of freelist_corrupted() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-slub-fix-conversion-of-freelist_corrupted.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Eugeniu Rosca <erosca@de.adit-jv.com> Subject: mm: slub: fix conversion of freelist_corrupted() Commit 52f23478081ae0 ("mm/slub.c: fix corrupted freechain in deactivate_slab()") suffered an update when picked up from LKML [1]. Specifically, relocating 'freelist = NULL' into 'freelist_corrupted()' created a no-op statement. Fix it by sticking to the behavior intended in the original patch [1]. In addition, make freelist_corrupted() immune to passing NULL instead of &freelist. The issue has been spotted via static analysis and code review.
