Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] slab: Introduce kmalloc_obj() and family

Hi,

Here's a refresh and update on the kmalloc_obj() API proposal. Please
see patch 2 for the specific details. And note that this is obviously
not v6.15 material! :)

Thanks!

-Kees

 v4:
 - split __flex_counter() out and add appropriate helpers
 - add flex array examples to commit log
 - add "size" details to commit log
 - add treewide conversion details to commit log
 - improve treewide Coccinelle scripting
 - fix documentation typos
 v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240822231324.make.666-kees@kernel.org/
 v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240807235433.work.317-kees@kernel.org/
