Revision a810007afe239d59c1115fcaa06eb5b480f876e9 authored by Sean Rees on 08 February 2017, 22:30:59 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 08 February 2017, 23:41:43 UTC
Commit 210e7a43fa90 ("mm: SLUB freelist randomization") broke USB hub initialisation as described in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177551. Bail out early from init_cache_random_seq if s->random_seq is already initialised. This prevents destroying the previously computed random_seq offsets later in the function. If the offsets are destroyed, then shuffle_freelist will truncate page->freelist to just the first object (orphaning the rest).

README
Linux kernel
============
This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst
Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
