Merge tag 'slab-for-5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - Conversion of slub_debug stack traces to stackdepot, allowing more
   useful debugfs-based inspection for e.g. memory leak debugging.
   Allocation and free debugfs info now includes full traces and is
   sorted by the unique trace frequency.

   The stackdepot conversion was already attempted last year but
   reverted by ae14c63a9f20. The memory overhead (while not actually
   enabled on boot) has been meanwhile solved by making the large
   stackdepot allocation dynamic. The xfstest issues haven't been
   reproduced on current kernel locally nor in -next, so the slab cache
   layout changes that originally made that bug manifest were probably
   not the root cause.

 - Refactoring of dma-kmalloc caches creation.

 - Trivial cleanups such as removal of unused parameters, fixes and
   clarifications of comments.

 - Hyeonggon Yoo joins as a reviewer.
