Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka: "The main change is naturally the SLOB removal. Since its deprecation in 6.2 I've seen no complaints so hopefully SLUB_(TINY) works well for everyone and we can proceed. Besides the code cleanup, the main immediate benefit will be allowing kfree() family of function to work on kmem_cache_alloc() objects, which was incompatible with SLOB. This includes kfree_rcu() which had no kmem_cache_free_rcu() counterpart yet and now it shouldn't be necessary anymore. Besides that, there are several small code and comment improvements from Thomas, Thorsten and Vernon" * tag 'slab-for-6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab: mm/slab: document kfree() as allowed for kmem_cache_alloc() objects mm/slob: remove slob.c mm/slab: remove CONFIG_SLOB code from slab common code mm, pagemap: remove SLOB and SLQB from comments and documentation mm, page_flags: remove PG_slob_free mm/slob: remove CONFIG_SLOB mm/slub: fix help comment of SLUB_DEBUG mm: slub: make kobj_type structure constant slab: Adjust comment after refactoring of gfp.h
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
