SubjectRe: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.14 078/100] kmemleak: add scheduling point to kmemleak_scan()
From
Date
Hi Sasha,

There is a fix patch for this patch:

13ab183 mm/kmemleak.c: make cond_resched() rate-limiting more efficient

So if this patch is backported to stable, maybe the above patch is also
need to be backported too.

Thanks
Yisheng
