Subject: [PATCH] lib: objagg: Use flexible arrays for object storage
Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 18:58:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260519015833.634602-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
Store object payloads and temporary graph nodes in their parent
allocations instead of open-coding trailing storage or allocating the
node array separately.
Use byte-sized flexible arrays for object payloads so kzalloc_flex() is
passed the same byte count as the previous allocation sizes.
