Merge tag 'slab-for-6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka: - Convert struct slab to its own flags instead of referencing page flags, which is another preparation step before separating it from struct page completely. Along with that, a bunch of documentation fixes and cleanups (Matthew Wilcox) - Convert large kmalloc to use frozen pages in order to be consistent with non-large kmalloc slabs (Vlastimil Babka) - MAINTAINERS updates (Matthew Wilcox, Lorenzo Stoakes) - Restore NUMA policy support for large kmalloc, broken by mistake in v6.1 (Vlastimil Babka) * tag 'slab-for-6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab: MAINTAINERS: add missing files to slab section slab: Update MAINTAINERS entry memcg_slabinfo: Fix use of PG_slab kfence: Remove mention of PG_slab vmcoreinfo: Remove documentation of PG_slab and PG_hugetlb doc: Add slab internal kernel-doc slub: Fix a documentation build error for krealloc() slab: Add SL_pfmemalloc flag slab: Add SL_partial flag slab: Rename slab->__page_flags to slab->flags doc: Move SLUB documentation to the admin guide mm, slab: use frozen pages for large kmalloc mm, slab: restore NUMA policy support for large kmalloc
