Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable] mm/kasan: use SLAB_NO_MERGE flag instead of an empty constructor
Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2025 10:59:26 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250318015926.1629748-1-harry.yoo@oracle.com> (raw)
Use SLAB_NO_MERGE flag to prevent merging instead of providing an
empty constructor. Using an empty constructor in this manner is an abuse
of slab interface.
The SLAB_NO_MERGE flag should be used with caution, but in this case,
it is acceptable as the cache is intended solely for debugging purposes.
No functional changes intended.
