Message-ID: <20140722225841.GA5379@redhat.com> Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2014 18:58:41 -0400 From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@...hat.com> To: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>, David Rientjes <rientjes@...gle.com>, Pekka Enberg <penberg@....fi>, Christoph Lameter <cl@...ux.com>, Pekka Enberg <penberg@...nel.org>, linux-mm@...ck.org, dm-devel@...hat.com, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, "Alasdair G. Kergon" <agk@...hat.com>, Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@...hat.com>, Zdenek Kabelac <zkabelac@...hat.com> Subject: [git pull] stable mm/slab_common.c fix for 3.16-rc7 Hi Linus, Not sure you'll be OK with what I've done or not but I pulled in a 1-liner "slab/urgent" fix that Pekka staged a couple months ago. I've made it available through a signed tag in the linux-dm.git tree. My reasoning on why this is OK is it regularly impacts DM and Pekka already Signed-off on it (as did other mm developers). I'm pretty sure Pekka just forgot to follow through preparing a pull request for 3.15. If you'd rather take this direct from Pekka (or wait for Andrew to pick up the same patch which David just sent him) that is fine by me, I just want the issue fixed. The following changes since commit 048e5a07f282c57815b3901d4a68a77fa131ce0a: dm cache metadata: do not allow the data block size to change (2014-07-15 14:07:50 -0400) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git tags/urgent-slab-fix for you to fetch changes up to 45ccaf4764278f6544db412d38a1bae056ee3acc: Merge branch 'slab/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/linux into for-3.16-rcX (2014-07-22 18:38:27 -0400) Please pull, thanks. Mike ---------------------------------------------------------------- This fixes the broken duplicate slab name check in kmem_cache_sanity_check() that has been repeatedly reported (as recently as today against Fedora rawhide). Pekka seemed to have it staged for a late 3.15-rc in his 'slab/urgent' branch but never sent a pull request, see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/23/648 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Snitzer (1): Merge branch 'slab/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/.../penberg/linux into for-3.16-rcX Mikulas Patocka (1): slab_common: fix the check for duplicate slab names mm/slab_common.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
