[PATCH RT] mm/slub: close possible memory-leak in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk()
From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Wed Dec 13 2017 - 09:06:13 EST
Under certain circumstances we could leak elements which were moved to
the local "to_free" list. The damage is limited since I can't find any
users here.

Jesper: There are no users of kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() and kfree_bulk().
Only kmem_cache_free_bulk() is used since it was introduced. Do you
think that it would make sense to remove those?
