mm/slub.c exports ksize(), but mm/slob.c and mm/slab.c don't. I don't know why.

That's due to the fact that my patch to remove this unused export from slub was not yet applied...

Where is the modular in-kernel user?

binfmt_flat.c, binfmt_elf_fdpic.c.
I could have sworn I had checked that both are bools, but BINFMT_FLAT is actually a tristate.

Is anyone actually using binfmt_flat modular (considering it's only available for !MMU embedded systems)? If yes, then only exporting ksize() will not be enough for getting it working modular...

We're not using modular binfmt_flat on the Blackfin, but I can't speak
for other architectures.

I don't know of any architectures that do (or have ever) used
these as modules.

Greg
