Hi Linus,

please pull the latest slab fixes from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab.git tags/slab-for-7.0-rc1

Note my externally facing mail address changed, which should be in
MAINTAINERS and .mailmap by now.

Thanks,
Vlastimil

======================================

- Fix for spurious page allocation warnings on sheaf refill (Harry Yoo)

- Fix for CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG warnings (Suren Baghdasaryan)

- Fix for kernel-doc warning on ksize() (Sanjay Chitroda)

- Fix to avoid setting slab->stride later than on slab allocation. Doesn't
yet fix the reports from powerpc; debugging is making progress.
(Harry Yoo)
