Merge tag 'slab-for-6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
 "The main change is naturally the SLOB removal. Since its deprecation
  in 6.2 I've seen no complaints so hopefully SLUB_(TINY) works well for
  everyone and we can proceed.

  Besides the code cleanup, the main immediate benefit will be allowing
  kfree() family of function to work on kmem_cache_alloc() objects,
  which was incompatible with SLOB. This includes kfree_rcu() which had
  no kmem_cache_free_rcu() counterpart yet and now it shouldn't be
  necessary anymore.

  Besides that, there are several small code and comment improvements
  from Thomas, Thorsten and Vernon"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
