The patch titled
Subject: slab: fix init_lock_keys
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
slab-fix-init_lock_keys.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Christoph Lameter <[email protected]>
Subject: slab: fix init_lock_keys
Some architectures (e.g. powerpc built with CONFIG_PPC_256K_PAGES=y
CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER=11) get PAGE_SHIFT + MAX_ORDER > 26.
In 3.10 kernels, CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y with PAGE_SHIFT + MAX_ORDER > 26 makes
init_lock_keys() dereference beyond kmalloc_caches[26].
This leads to an unbootable system (kernel panic at initializing SLAB)
if one of kmalloc_caches[26...PAGE_SHIFT+MAX_ORDER-1] is not NULL.
Fix this by making sure that init_lock_keys() does not dereference beyond
kmalloc_caches[26] arrays.
