Hi Kees,
Thank you for the reviews!
Yes, I believe everything that accesses slab->obj_exts directly
(currently alloc_slab_obj_exts() and free_slab_obj_exts()) handle this
special non-NULL case. kfence_init_pool() initialized slab->obj_exts
directly, but since it's setting it and not accessing it, it does not
need to handle OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAIL. All other slab->obj_exts users use
slab_obj_exts() which applies OBJEXTS_FLAGS_MASK and masks out any
special bits.
Thanks,
Suren.
