======================================

- Stable fix for KFENCE integration (Rik van Riel)

  Since v6.8 we've had a subtle breakage in SLUB with KFENCE enabled, that
  can cause a crash. It hasn't been found earlier due to quite specific
  conditions necessary (OOM during kmem_cache_alloc_bulk()).

      mm, slub: do not call do_slab_free for kfence object
