Subject: [PATCH] overflow: Make sure size helpers are always inlined
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 15:24:52 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224232451.work.614-kees@kernel.org> (raw)

With kmalloc_obj() performing implicit size calculations, the embedded
size_mul() calls, while marked inline, were not always being inlined.
I noticed a couple places where allocations were making a call out for
things that would otherwise be compile-time calculated. Force the
compilers to always inline these calculations.
