[PATCH] slab: silence sparse warning with type-based partitioning
From: Marco Elver
Date: Tue Jul 21 2026 - 05:25:54 EST
Sparse does not know __builtin_infer_alloc_token() and complains:
sparse: sparse: undefined identifier '__builtin_infer_alloc_token'
Fix it by using a dummy variant of __kmalloc_token() if __CHECKER__ is
defined.
Fixes: feb662d9168b ("slab: support for compiler-assisted type-based slab cache partitioning")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202607110912.nZTqfCrH-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/
