[PATCH v2 0/5] slab cleanups

From: Hyeonggon Yoo
Date: Fri Mar 04 2022 - 01:35:37 EST


Changes from v1:
Now SLAB passes requests larger than order-1 page
to page allocator.

Adjusted comments from Matthew, Vlastimil, Rientjes.
Thank you for feedback!

BTW, I have no idea what __ksize() should return when an object that
is not allocated from slab is passed. both 0 and folio_size()
seems wrong to me.

Hello, these are cleanup patches for slab.
Please consider them for slab-next :)

Any comments will be appreciated.
Thanks.
