Subject: [PATCH v3 03/21] mm/slab: move and refactor __kmem_cache_alias()
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 15:40:23 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260116-sheaves-for-all-v3-3-5595cb000772@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260116-sheaves-for-all-v3-0-5595cb000772@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 calling 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.
