Merge tag 'slab-for-6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- SLOB deprecation and SLUB_TINY
The SLOB allocator adds maintenance burden and stands in the way of
API improvements [1]. Deprecate it by renaming the config option (to
make users notice) to CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED with updated help text.
SLUB should be used instead as SLAB will be the next on the removal
list.
Based on reports from a riscv k210 board with 8MB RAM, add a
CONFIG_SLUB_TINY option to minimize SLUB's memory usage at the
expense of scalability. This has resolved the k210 regression [2] so
in case there are no others (that wouldn't be resolvable by further
tweaks to SLUB_TINY) plan is to remove SLOB in a few cycles.
Existing defconfigs with CONFIG_SLOB are converted to
CONFIG_SLUB_TINY.
- kmalloc() slub_debug redzone improvements
A series from Feng Tang that builds on the tracking or requested size
for kmalloc() allocations (for caches with debugging enabled) added
in 6.1, to make redzone checks consider the requested size and not
the rounded up one, in order to catch more subtle buffer overruns.
Includes new slub_kunit test.
- struct slab fields reordering to accomodate larger rcu_head
RCU folks would like to grow rcu_head with debugging options, which
breaks current struct slab layout's assumptions, so reorganize it to
make this possible.
- Miscellaneous improvements/fixes:
- __alloc_size checking compiler workaround (Kees Cook)
- Optimize and cleanup SLUB's sysfs init (Rasmus Villemoes)
- Make SLAB compatible with PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING (Jiri Kosina)
- Correct SLUB's percpu allocation estimates (Baoquan He)
- Re-enableS LUB's run-time failslab sysfs control (Alexander Atanasov)
- Make tools/vm/slabinfo more user friendly when not run as root (Rong Tao)
- Dead code removal in SLUB (Hyeonggon Yoo)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
