Hopefully
mm-slub-optimize-alloc-free-fastpath-by-removing-preemption-on-off-v3.patch
will fix this.
The most recent -mmotm was a bit of a trainwreck. I'm scrambling to
get the holes plugged so I can get another mmotm out today.
From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo....@lge.com>
Subject: mm/slub: optimize alloc/free fastpath by removing preemption on/off
Change from v2:
- use raw_cpu_ptr() rather than this_cpu_ptr() to avoid warning from
preemption debug check since this is intended behaviour
- fix typo alogorithm -> algorithm
