Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 02/20] mm/slab: move and refactor __kmem_cache_alias()
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 16:16:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260112-sheaves-for-all-v2-2-98225cfb50cf@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260112-sheaves-for-all-v2-0-98225cfb50cf@suse.cz>

Move __kmem_cache_alias() to slab_common.c since it's called by
__kmem_cache_create_args() and calls find_mergeable() that both
are in this file. We can remove two slab.h declarations and make
them static. Instead declare sysfs_slab_alias() from slub.c so
that __kmem_cache_alias() can keep caling it.

Add args parameter to __kmem_cache_alias() and find_mergeable() instead
of align and ctor. With that we can also move the checks for usersize
and sheaf_capacity there from __kmem_cache_create_args() and make the
result more symmetric with slab_unmergeable().

No functional changes intended.
