Subject: [PATCH v3 03/15] mm/slab: introduce slab_alloc_context
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 13:54:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260615-slab_alloc_flags-v3-3-ce1146d140fb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260615-slab_alloc_flags-v3-0-ce1146d140fb@kernel.org>

Similarly to page allocator's struct alloc_context, introduce a helper
struct to hold a part of the allocation arguments. This will allow
reducing the number of parameters in many functions of the
implementation, and extend them easily if needed.

For now, make it hold the caller address and the originally requested
allocation size.

Convert alloc_single_from_new_slab(), __slab_alloc_node() and
___slab_alloc(). No functional change intended.
