Subject: [GIT PULL] slab changes for 6.1-rc1

Linus,

please pull the latest slab changes from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab.git tags/slab-for-6.1-rc1

This time I tried using topic branches much more than previously, hopefully in
an acceptable way. After rc5-ish I also tried to stabilize their merging into
for-next (and thus the resulting for-6.1) as well. Hence branches
slab/for-6.1/trivial and slab/for-6.1/slub_validation_locking appear to be
merged twice due an extra cleanup and fix, respectivelly, being added and
merged only last week. In slab/for-6.1/kmalloc_size_roundup I however decided
for squashing a fix last week [1] to avoid needless build errors while bisecting.

If a more simpler, even if "last-minute", topic branch merging is preferred
than this, please let me know.

I'm aware of one conflict with mm tree [2].

Thanks,
Vlastimil

======================================

* The "common kmalloc v4" series [1] by Hyeonggon Yoo. While the plan after
  LPC is to try again if it's possible to get rid of SLOB and SLAB (and if
  any critical aspect of those is not possible to achieve with SLUB today,
  modify it accordingly), it will take a while even in case there are no
  objections. Meanwhile this is a nice cleanup and some parts (e.g. to the
  tracepoints) will be useful even if we end up with a single slab
  implementation in the future.

  - Improves the mm/slab_common.c wrappers to allow deleting duplicated
    code between SLAB and SLUB.
  - Large kmalloc() allocations in SLAB are passed to page allocator like
    in SLUB, reducing number of kmalloc caches.
  - Removes the {kmem_cache_alloc,kmalloc}_node variants of tracepoints,
    node id parameter added to non-_node variants.
  - 8 files changed, 341 insertions(+), 651 deletions(-)

* Addition of kmalloc_size_roundup()

  The first two patches from a series by Kees Cook [2] that introduce
  kmalloc_size_roundup(). This will allow merging of per-subsystem patches
  using the new function and ultimately stop (ab)using ksize() in a way that
  causes ongoing trouble for debugging functionality and static checkers.

* Wasted kmalloc() memory tracking in debugfs alloc_traces

  A patch from Feng Tang that enhances the existing debugfs alloc_traces
  file for kmalloc caches with information about how much space is wasted
  by allocations that needs less space than the particular kmalloc cache
  provides.

* My series [3] to fix validation races for caches with enabled debugging.

  - By decoupling the debug cache operation more from non-debug fastpaths,
    extra locking simplifications were possible and thus done afterwards.
  - Additional cleanup of PREEMPT_RT specific code on top, by Thomas Gleixner.
  - A late fix for slab page leaks caused by the series, by Feng Tang.

* Smaller fixes and cleanups

  - Unneeded variable removals, by ye xingchen
  - A cleanup removing a BUG_ON() in create_unique_id(), by Chao Yu.
