Subject: [PATCH RFC 06/12] mm/slab: abstract slabobj_ext.ref access
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:10:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715-b4-objext_split-v1-6-9a49c4ccf4c3@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260715-b4-objext_split-v1-0-9a49c4ccf4c3@kernel.org>

In preparation for changes to the structure, abstract access to the ref
field with a slab_obj_ext_codetag_ref() function. Rename the field to
_ctref to make an unexpected direct access a compile error.

No functional change intended.
