Subject: [BUG -next 20181008] list corruption with "mm/slub: remove useless
 condition in deactivate_slab"

Hello,

with linux-next for 20181008 I can reliably crash my system with lot's of
debugging options enabled on s390. List debugging triggers the list
corruption below, which I could bisect down to this commit:

fde06e07750477f049f12d7d471ffa505338a3e7 is the first bad commit
commit fde06e07750477f049f12d7d471ffa505338a3e7

    mm/slub: remove useless condition in deactivate_slab

    The var l should be used to reflect the original list, on which the page
    should be.  But c->page is not on any list.  Furthermore, the current code
    does not update the value of l.  Hence remove the related logic
