SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/2] Move kfree_call_rcu() to slab_common.c
From
Date
Folks,

Is anyone working on resolving the check patch issue as I am waiting to
resubmit my patch. Will it be fine if I submitted the patch with the
original macro as the check is in-correct.

I do not speak perl but I can do the process work. If folks think Joe's
fix is fine I can submit it and perhaps someone can review it ?

Regards,

Shoaib
