The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/shrinker: fix refcount leak in shrink_slab_memcg()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/shrinker: fix refcount leak in shrink_slab_memcg()
Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2026 19:35:53 -0800
When kmem is disabled for memcg, slab-backed shrinkers are skipped.
However, shrink_slab_memcg() doesn't drop the reference acquired via
shrinker_try_get() before continuing.
Add the missing shrinker_put().
Also, since memcg_kmem_online() and shrinker flags cannot change
dynamically, remove the shrinker from the bitmap to avoid unnecessary
future scans.
