Subject: Stable backport request: skbuff: Proactively round up to kmalloc
 bucket size

Hello!

Would the stable maintainers please consider backporting the following
commit to the 6.1? We are trying to build gki_defconfig (plus a few
extras) on Arm64 and test it under Qemu-arm64, but it fails to boot.
Bisection has pointed here.

We have verified that cherry-picking this patch on top of v6.1.29
applies cleanly and allows the kernel to boot.

    skbuff: Proactively round up to kmalloc bucket size

    Instead of discovering the kmalloc bucket size _after_ allocation, round
    up proactively so the allocation is explicitly made for the full size,
    allowing the compiler to correctly reason about the resulting size of
    the buffer through the existing __alloc_size() hint.

    This will allow for kernels built with CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS or the
    coming dynamic bounds checking under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE to gain
    back the __alloc_size() hints that were temporarily reverted in commit
    93dd04ab0b2b ("slab: remove __alloc_size attribute from
__kmalloc_track_caller")
