Merge tag 'slab-for-6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
"The main change is naturally the SLOB removal. Since its deprecation
in 6.2 I've seen no complaints so hopefully SLUB_(TINY) works well for
everyone and we can proceed.
Besides the code cleanup, the main immediate benefit will be allowing
kfree() family of function to work on kmem_cache_alloc() objects,
which was incompatible with SLOB. This includes kfree_rcu() which had
no kmem_cache_free_rcu() counterpart yet and now it shouldn't be
necessary anymore.
Besides that, there are several small code and comment improvements
from Thomas, Thorsten and Vernon"
