Merge tag 'slab-for-6.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab

Pull slab fixes from Vlastimil Babka:

 - The "common kmalloc v4" series [1] by Hyeonggon Yoo.

   While the plan after LPC is to try again if it's possible to get rid
   of SLOB and SLAB (and if any critical aspect of those is not possible
   to achieve with SLUB today, modify it accordingly), it will take a
   while even in case there are no objections.

   Meanwhile this is a nice cleanup and some parts (e.g. to the
   tracepoints) will be useful even if we end up with a single slab
   implementation in the future:

      - Improves the mm/slab_common.c wrappers to allow deleting
        duplicated code between SLAB and SLUB.

      - Large kmalloc() allocations in SLAB are passed to page allocator
        like in SLUB, reducing number of kmalloc caches.

      - Removes the {kmem_cache_alloc,kmalloc}_node variants of
        tracepoints, node id parameter added to non-_node variants.

 - Addition of kmalloc_size_roundup()

   The first two patches from a series by Kees Cook [2] 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.

 - Wasted kmalloc() memory tracking in debugfs alloc_traces

   A patch from Feng Tang that enhances the existing debugfs
   alloc_traces file for kmalloc caches with information about how much
   space is wasted by allocations that needs less space than the
   particular kmalloc cache provides.

 - My series [3] to fix validation races for caches with enabled
   debugging:

      - By decoupling the debug cache operation more from non-debug
        fastpaths, extra locking simplifications were possible and thus
        done afterwards.

      - Additional cleanup of PREEMPT_RT specific code on top, by Thomas
        Gleixner.

      - A late fix for slab page leaks caused by the series, by Feng
        Tang.

 - Smaller fixes and cleanups:

      - Unneeded variable removals, by ye xingchen

      - A cleanup removing a BUG_ON() in create_unique_id(), by Chao Yu
