Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] slab: move validate_slab_ptr() from check_slab() to its callers
Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2025 15:55:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250915-slub-slab-validation-v2-3-314690fc1532@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250915-slub-slab-validation-v2-0-314690fc1532@suse.cz>

We will want to do the validation earlier in some callers or remove it
completely, so extract it from check_slab() first. No functional change.
