Subject: [PATCH v3 02/15] mm/slab: stop inlining __slab_alloc_node()
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 13:54:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260615-slab_alloc_flags-v3-2-ce1146d140fb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260615-slab_alloc_flags-v3-0-ce1146d140fb@kernel.org>
With sheaves, this is no longer part of the allocation fastpath. For
the same reason, also mark the call to it from slab_alloc_node() as
unlikely().
