Subject: [GIT PULL] slab hotfix for 6.18-rc1
Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2025 11:01:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <903ea271-9413-40ed-93cd-104062c18a84@suse.cz> (raw)
Hi Linus,
here's the NULL pointer deref hotfix in the form of a PR
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab.git tags/slab-for-6.18-rc1-hotfix
Obviously it wasn't in -next yet and was just sent out formally for review,
and it's weekend so that's an unfortunate timing. Releasing rc1 might
however mean more exposure to such memoryless node systems so I didn't want
to delay. You can decide to pull or wait.
Sorry for the trouble and thanks,
Vlastimil
