[to-be-updated] mm-kcsan-instrument-slab-slub-free-with-assert_exclusive_access.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm, kcsan: instrument SLAB/SLUB free with "ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS"
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-kcsan-instrument-slab-slub-free-with-assert_exclusive_access.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

------------------------------------------------------
From: Marco Elver <elver@google.com>
Subject: mm, kcsan: instrument SLAB/SLUB free with "ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS"

Provide the necessary KCSAN checks to assist with debugging racy
use-after-frees.  While KASAN is more reliable at generally catching such
use-after-frees (due to its use of a quarantine), it can be difficult to
debug racy use-after-frees.  If a reliable reproducer exists, KCSAN can
assist in debugging such issues.

Note: ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS is a convenience wrapper if the size is
simply sizeof(var).  Instead, here we just use __kcsan_check_access()
explicitly to pass the correct size.
