Subject: [PATCH V2 2/2] mm/slab: drop the OBJEXTS_NOSPIN_ALLOC flag from enum objext_flags
Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2026 13:46:42 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260210044642.139482-3-harry.yoo@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260210044642.139482-1-harry.yoo@oracle.com>

OBJEXTS_NOSPIN_ALLOC was used to remember whether a slabobj_ext vector
was allocated via kmalloc_nolock(), so that free_slab_obj_exts() could
call kfree_nolock() instead of kfree().

Now that kfree() supports freeing kmalloc_nolock() objects, this flag is
no longer needed. Instead, pass the allow_spin parameter down to
free_slab_obj_exts() to determine whether kfree_nolock() or kfree()
should be called in the free path, and free one bit in
enum objext_flags.
