Subject: [PATCH v2 04/22] slab: Remove dead code in free_consistency_checks()
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2025 12:54:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250910115507.1991829-5-willy@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250910115507.1991829-1-willy@infradead.org>
We already know that slab is a valid slab as that's checked by the
caller. In the future, we won't be able to get to a slab pointer
from a non-slab page.
