Linus,
please pull the latest slab updates from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab.git tags/slab-for-6.2-rc1
The changes, including the first step to remove SLOB, are summarized below.
There's one trivial conflict with percpu tree:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
======================================
* 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 by Kees Cook.
- Optimize and cleanup SLUB's sysfs init, by Rasmus Villemoes.
- Make SLAB compatible with PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING, by Jiri Kosina.
- Correct SLUB's percpu allocation estimates, by Baoquan He.
- Re-enableS LUB's run-time failslab sysfs control, by Alexander Atanasov.
- Make tools/vm/slabinfo more user friendly when not run as root, by Rong Tao.
- Dead code removal in SLUB, by Hyeonggon Yoo.
