Subject: [PATCH 2/6] slab: Remove special-casing of const 0 size allocations
Date:   Tue,  1 Nov 2022 15:33:10 -0700
Message-Id: <20221101223321.1326815-2-keescook@chromium.org>
In-Reply-To: <20221101222520.never.109-kees@kernel.org>

Passing a constant-0 size allocation into kmalloc() or kmalloc_node()
does not need to be a fast-path operation, so the static return value
can be removed entirely. This is in preparation for making sure that
all paths through the inlines result in a full extern function call,
where __alloc_size() hints will actually be seen[1] by GCC. (A constant
return value of 0 means the "0" allocation size won't be propagated by
the inline.)
