Merge tag 'slab-for-7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka: - Support for "allocation tokens" (currently available in Clang 22+) for smarter partitioning of kmalloc caches based on the allocated object type, which can be enabled instead of the "random" per-caller-address-hash partitioning. It should be able to deterministically separate types containing a pointer from those that do not (Marco Elver) - Improvements and simplification of the kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() and mempool_alloc_bulk() API. This includes adaptation of callers (Christoph Hellwig) - Performance improvements and cleanups related mostly to sheaves refill (Hao Li, Shengming Hu, Vlastimil Babka) - Several fixups for the slabinfo tool (Xuewen Wang) * tag 'slab-for-7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab: mm/slab: do not limit zeroing to orig_size when only red zoning is enabled mm/slub: preserve original size in _kmalloc_nolock_noprof retry path mm: simplify the mempool_alloc_bulk API mm/slab: improve kmem_cache_alloc_bulk mm/slub: detach and reattach partial slabs in batch mm/slub: introduce helpers for node partial slab state mm/slub: use empty sheaf helpers for oversized sheaves tools/mm/slabinfo: remove redundant slab->partial assignment tools/mm/slabinfo: remove dead assignment in get_obj_and_str() tools/mm/slabinfo: Fix trace disable logic inversion MAINTAINERS: add slab-related scripts and tools to SLAB ALLOCATOR mm/slub: fix typo in sheaves comment mm, slab: simplify returning slab in __refill_objects_node() mm, slab: add an optimistic __slab_try_return_freelist() slab: fix kernel-docs for mm-api slab: improve KMALLOC_PARTITION_RANDOM randomness slab: support for compiler-assisted type-based slab cache partitioning mm/slub: defer freelist construction until after bulk allocation from a new slab
