    Merge tag 'slab-for-5.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab · ca1a46d6
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
    
     - Separate struct slab from struct page - an offshot of the page folio
       work.
    
       Struct page fields used by slab allocators are moved from struct page
       to a new struct slab, that uses the same physical storage. Similar to
       struct folio, it always is a head page. This brings better type
       safety, separation of large kmalloc allocations from true slabs, and
       cleanup of related objcg code.
    
     - A SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT config optimization.
