[PATCH v2 0/2] Refine kmalloc caches randomization in kvmalloc

[GONG Ruiqi]

Hi,

v2: change the implementation as Vlastimil suggested
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250122074817.991060-1-gongruiqi1@xxxxxxxxxx/

Tamás reported [1] that kmalloc cache randomization doesn't actually
work for those kmalloc invoked via kvmalloc. For more details, see the
commit log of patch 2.

The current solution requires a direct call from __kvmalloc_node_noprof
to __do_kmalloc_node, a static function in a different .c file.
Comparing to v1, this version achieves this by simply moving
__kvmalloc_node_noprof to mm/slub.c, as suggested by Vlastimil [2].
