[PATCH v8 10/20] mm: move obj_to_index to include/linux/slab_def.h

[Andrey Konovalov]

While with SLUB we can actually preassign tags for caches with contructors
and store them in pointers in the freelist, SLAB doesn't allow that since
the freelist is stored as an array of indexes, so there are no pointers to
store the tags.

Instead we compute the tag twice, once when a slab is created before
calling the constructor and then again each time when an object is
allocated with kmalloc. Tag is computed simply by taking the lowest byte of
the index that corresponds to the object. However in kasan_kmalloc we only
have access to the objects pointer, so we need a way to find out which
index this object corresponds to.

This patch moves obj_to_index from slab.c to include/linux/slab_def.h to
be reused by KASAN.
