Subject: [PATCH v3 15/15] mm/slab: replace __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT with SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE for sheaves
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 13:54:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260615-slab_alloc_flags-v3-15-ce1146d140fb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260615-slab_alloc_flags-v3-0-ce1146d140fb@kernel.org>

Finish the switch away from __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT by replacing it with
SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE when allocating empty sheaves. Pass alloc_flags to
[__]alloc_empty_sheaf(). Callers that can't be part of a recursive
kmalloc() chain simply pass SLAB_ALLOC_DEFAULT. Use kmalloc_flags()
instead of kzalloc() for allocating the sheaf.

With that we can finalize the removal the __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT handling from
obj_ext allocations as well, leaving only SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE in
place.

This leaves __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT with no users in slab, so stop allowing the
flag in kmalloc_nolock().
