Subject: [PATCH v3 06/13] mm/slab: abstract slabobj_ext.ref access
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 14:54:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260727-b4-objext_split-v3-6-c29ef0f1f257@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260727-b4-objext_split-v3-0-c29ef0f1f257@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.
