Subject: [PATCH v2 10/16] mm/slab: replace slab_alloc_node() parameters with slab_alloc_context
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 17:40:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610-slab_alloc_flags-v2-10-7190909db118@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260610-slab_alloc_flags-v2-0-7190909db118@kernel.org>

The function takes all the parameters that exist as fields in
slab_alloc_context, except alloc_flags. Replace them with a single
pointer.

This moves slab_alloc_context initialization to a number of callers,
which is more verbose, but arguably also more clear than a long list of
parameters, and most do not use the 'lru' field.

This will also allow kmalloc_nolock() to call slab_alloc_node() and
reduce the special open-coding it currently has.
