Pull slab fixes from Vlastimil Babka: - Fix for cleanup infrastructure (Dan Carpenter) This makes the __free(kfree) cleanup hooks not crash on error pointers. - SLUB fix for freepointer checking (Nicolas Bouchinet) This fixes a recently introduced bug that manifests when init_on_free, CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED and consistency checks (slub_debug=F) are all enabled, and results in false-positive freepointer corrupt reports for caches that store freepointer outside of the object area. * tag 'slab-for-6.9-rc7-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab: mm/slab: make __free(kfree) accept error pointers mm/slub: avoid zeroing outside-object freepointer for single free
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
