Merge branch 'slab/for-6.1/kmalloc_size_roundup' into slab/for-next
The first two patches from a series by Kees Cook [1] that introduce kmalloc_size_roundup(). This will allow merging of per-subsystem patches using the new function and ultimately stop (ab)using ksize() in a way that causes ongoing trouble for debugging functionality and static checkers. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220923202822.2667581-1-keescook@chromium.org/ -- Resolved a conflict of modifying mm/slab.c __ksize() comment with a commit that unifies __ksize() implementation into mm/slab_common.c
