Subject: [PATCH RFC 10/12] mm/slab: reduce slabobj_ext memory with allocation profiling disabled
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:10:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715-b4-objext_split-v1-10-9a49c4ccf4c3@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260715-b4-objext_split-v1-0-9a49c4ccf4c3@kernel.org>
When memory allocation profiling is compiled in but permanently disabled
on boot with (implicit or explicit) "never" parameter, stop allocating
(wasting) memory for the codetag_ref parts of slabobj_ext metadata.
