Subject: [merged mm-stable] kasan-docs-slub-is-the-only-remaining-slab-implementation.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 14:44:36 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324214437.028C7C2BC9E@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: kasan: docs: SLUB is the only remaining slab implementation
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kasan-docs-slub-is-the-only-remaining-slab-implementation.patch
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: kasan: docs: SLUB is the only remaining slab implementation
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 13:04:16 +0100
We have only the SLUB implementation left in the kernel (referred to as
"slab"). Therefore, there is nothing special regarding KASAN modes when
it comes to the slab allocator anymore.
Drop the stale comment regarding differing SLUB vs. SLAB support.
