With the advent of kdump it is possible that device drivers receive interrupts generated in the context of a previous kernel. Ideally quiescing the underlying devices should suffice but not all drivers do this, either because it is not possible or because they did not contemplate this case. Thus dr

[GIT PULL] mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either. This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create() completely and fixes up every single call
