[merged mm-stable] mm-kmemleak-stop-the-task-stack-scan-early-when-interrupted.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/kmemleak: stop the task stack scan early when interrupted
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-kmemleak-stop-the-task-stack-scan-early-when-interrupted.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: mm/kmemleak: stop the task stack scan early when interrupted
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 10:49:07 -0700

scan_block() already checks scan_should_stop() for every pointer and bails
out of the current block, but the task stack walk cannot tell and keeps
issuing a separate scan_should_stop() between every task.

Return that status from scan_block() and use it as the task stack loop
condition, so the walk stops as soon as a scan is interrupted.
