Hi Matt,
Thanks for your update! I reviewed it and have some comments and questions.
BTW, from the next version, can you Cc the series to linux-trace-kernel@vger
mailing list too?

This comment is a bit confusing. it is "called once for each object", right?

nit: I don't think this needs to be inlined, since it is only
used once and not on a hot path. I would suggest making it just
a 'static' function and letting the compiler decide whether
to inline it or not.

'nents' and 'n' is a bit confusing. please use 'capacity' or always
use 'head->capacity'.

This is also no need to be inlined.

At first, please write this in kernel-doc style.

This is a bit strange. If no objects pre-allocated, @nr_objs should
be 0 instead of (or both of) @object_size.
And anyway, if there is no actual use-case for non pre-allocated
feature (except for the test case, of course), I would suggest
dropping it from this first version.

This looks wired. Please allocate the array for cpu_slots and slot_sizes
separately.

And do not do this. If it allocates 2 arrays, we can use many debug
features to detect overrun, but this wired allocation will prevent it.

We should make sure it is safe in theory. The hot path can be loose but
it must be ensured before use. OS can be used very long time in some time
(e.g. 10 years) and uint32 is too short ... (uint64 is OK)
