Subject: [PATCH v1] kasan: docs: SLUB is the only remaining slab implementation
Date: Tue,  3 Mar 2026 13:04:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303120416.62580-1-david@kernel.org> (raw)

We have only the SLUB implementation left in the kernel (referred to
as "slab"). Therefore, there is nothing special regarding KASAN modes
when it comes to the slab allocator anymore.

Drop the stale comment regarding differing SLUB vs. SLAB support.
