Hi Linus,

Thanks,
Vlastimil

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

- Stable fix to make slub_debug code not access invalid pointers in the
  process of reporting issues (Li Qiong)

- Stable fix to make object tracking pass gfp flags to stackdepot to
  avoid deadlock in contexts that can't even wake up kswapd due to
  e.g. timers debugging enabled (yangshiguang)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Li Qiong (1):
      mm/slub: avoid accessing metadata when pointer is invalid in object_err()

yangshiguang (1):
      mm: slub: avoid wake up kswapd in set_track_prepare
