> Since commit a77d6d338685 ("mm/slab: place slabobj_ext metadata in
> unused space within s->size"), slabobj_ext can reside in object padding
> already covered by s->size. The extra charge then accounts for the same
> memory twice.

> The per-slab obj_exts_in_object bit introduced by commit b5bc35ace2c5
> ("mm/slab: replace slab.stride with obj_exts_in_object") identifies this
> layout. Use it to omit the extra charge only for in-object metadata.
> Unlike in-object metadata, slab-leftover and separately allocated metadata
> are not covered by the per-object s->size charge, so retain the existing
> charge for those cases.
