Subject: [GIT PULL] slab fixes for 7.0-rc2
Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 12:36:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <086138f7-052e-402d-ab36-b40ca4428662@kernel.org> (raw)
Hi Linus,
please pull the latest slab fixes from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab.git tags/slab-for-7.0-rc2
Thanks,
Vlastimil
======================================
- Fix for slab->stride truncation on 64k page systems due to short type.
It was not due to races and lack of barriers in the end. (Harry Yoo)
- Fix for severe performance regression due to unnecessary sheaf refill
restrictions exposed by mempool allocation strategy. (Vlastimil Babka)
- Stable fix for potential silent percpu sheaf flushing failures on
PREEMPT_RT. (Vlastimil Babka)
