Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 1/3] slab: simplify init_kmem_cache_nodes() error handling
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 22:35:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904023549.2231387-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090309-stool-flyaway-37a0@gregkh>
From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>
[ Upstream commit 9d4e6ab865c48c70e684b176d3ee1574d092626f ]
We don't need to call free_kmem_cache_nodes() immediately when failing
to allocate a kmem_cache_node, because when we return 0,
do_kmem_cache_create() calls __kmem_cache_release() which also performs
free_kmem_cache_nodes().
