Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] slab: test zero-size allocations in slub_kunit
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 16:12:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811141240.62519-4-kmehltretter@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260811141240.62519-1-kmehltretter@gmail.com>

Add KUnit coverage for the zero-size allocation contract, including
ZERO_SIZE_PTR alignment and exact ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR() matching.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-fable-5
