Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka: - Separate struct slab from struct page - an offshot of the page folio work. Struct page fields used by slab allocators are moved from struct page to a new struct slab, that uses the same physical storage. Similar to struct folio, it always is a head page. This brings better type safety, separation of large kmalloc allocations from true slabs, and cleanup of related objcg code. - A SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT config optimization. * tag 'slab-for-5.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab: (33 commits) mm/slob: Remove unnecessary page_mapcount_reset() function call bootmem: Use page->index instead of page->freelist zsmalloc: Stop using slab fields in struct page mm/slub: Define struct slab fields for CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL only when enabled mm/slub: Simplify struct slab slabs field definition mm/sl*b: Differentiate struct slab fields by sl*b implementations mm/kfence: Convert kfence_guarded_alloc() to struct slab mm/kasan: Convert to struct folio and struct slab mm/slob: Convert SLOB to use struct slab and struct folio mm/memcg: Convert slab objcgs from struct page to struct slab mm: Convert struct page to struct slab in functions used by other subsystems mm/slab: Finish struct page to struct slab conversion mm/slab: Convert most struct page to struct slab by spatch mm/slab: Convert kmem_getpages() and kmem_freepages() to struct slab mm/slub: Finish struct page to struct slab conversion mm/slub: Convert most struct page to struct slab by spatch mm/slub: Convert pfmemalloc_match() to take a struct slab mm/slub: Convert __free_slab() to use struct slab mm/slub: Convert alloc_slab_page() to return a struct slab mm/slub: Convert print_page_info() to print_slab_info() ...
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
