Merge tag 'slab-for-6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka: - SLAB deprecation: Following the discussion at LSF/MM 2023 [1] and no objections, the SLAB allocator is deprecated by renaming the config option (to make its users notice) to CONFIG_SLAB_DEPRECATED with updated help text. SLUB should be used instead. Existing defconfigs with CONFIG_SLAB are also updated. - SLAB_NO_MERGE kmem_cache flag (Jesper Dangaard Brouer): There are (very limited) cases where kmem_cache merging is undesirable, and existing ways to prevent it are hacky. Introduce a new flag to do that cleanly and convert the existing hacky users. Btrfs plans to use this for debug kernel builds (that use case is always fine), networking for performance reasons (that should be very rare). - Replace the usage of weak PRNGs (David Keisar Schmidt): In addition to using stronger RNGs for the security related features, the code is a bit cleaner. - Misc code cleanups (SeongJae Parki, Xiongwei Song, Zhen Lei, and zhaoxinchao) Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/932201/ [1] * tag 'slab-for-6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab: mm/slab_common: use SLAB_NO_MERGE instead of negative refcount mm/slab: break up RCU readers on SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU example code mm/slab: add a missing semicolon on SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU example code mm/slab_common: reduce an if statement in create_cache() mm/slab: introduce kmem_cache flag SLAB_NO_MERGE mm/slab: rename CONFIG_SLAB to CONFIG_SLAB_DEPRECATED mm/slab: remove HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR mm/slab_common: Replace invocation of weak PRNG mm/slab: Replace invocation of weak PRNG slub: Don't read nr_slabs and total_objects directly slub: Remove slabs_node() function slub: Remove CONFIG_SMP defined check slub: Put objects_show() into CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG enabled block slub: Correct the error code when slab_kset is NULL mm/slab: correct return values in comment for _kmem_cache_create()
