Merge tag 'slab-for-6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - SLOB deprecation and SLUB_TINY

   The SLOB allocator adds maintenance burden and stands in the way of
   API improvements [1]. Deprecate it by renaming the config option (to
   make users notice) to CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED with updated help text.
   SLUB should be used instead as SLAB will be the next on the removal
   list.

   Based on reports from a riscv k210 board with 8MB RAM, add a
   CONFIG_SLUB_TINY option to minimize SLUB's memory usage at the
   expense of scalability. This has resolved the k210 regression [2] so
   in case there are no others (that wouldn't be resolvable by further
   tweaks to SLUB_TINY) plan is to remove SLOB in a few cycles.

   Existing defconfigs with CONFIG_SLOB are converted to
   CONFIG_SLUB_TINY.

 - kmalloc() slub_debug redzone improvements

   A series from Feng Tang that builds on the tracking or requested size
   for kmalloc() allocations (for caches with debugging enabled) added
   in 6.1, to make redzone checks consider the requested size and not
   the rounded up one, in order to catch more subtle buffer overruns.
   Includes new slub_kunit test.

 - struct slab fields reordering to accomodate larger rcu_head

   RCU folks would like to grow rcu_head with debugging options, which
   breaks current struct slab layout's assumptions, so reorganize it to
   make this possible.

 - Miscellaneous improvements/fixes:
     - __alloc_size checking compiler workaround (Kees Cook)
     - Optimize and cleanup SLUB's sysfs init (Rasmus Villemoes)
     - Make SLAB compatible with PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING (Jiri Kosina)
     - Correct SLUB's percpu allocation estimates (Baoquan He)
     - Re-enableS LUB's run-time failslab sysfs control (Alexander Atanasov)
     - Make tools/vm/slabinfo more user friendly when not run as root (Rong Tao)
     - Dead code removal in SLUB (Hyeonggon Yoo)
