[GIT PULL] slab updates for 7.3

[GIT PULL] slab updates for 7.3

[Vlastimil Babka (SUSE)]

Hi Linus,

please pull the latest slab updates from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab.git tags/slab-for-7.3

There's a semantic conflict with changes in char-misc that will break Rust
build due to a change of kvfree_call_rcu() parameter type. In linux-next this
was solved by this fixup applied as part of the merge commit of whichever of the
trees is merged later:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260805-slab-rust-fix-v1-1-c4d4c1b69de2@kernel.org/

Thanks,
Vlastimil

======================================

- Addition of kfree_rcu_nolock() that can be used from contexts where spinning
  on a lock might be unsafe, such as a BPF program attached to an arbitrary
  function, or in NMI context. This complements the existing kfree_nolock()
  support. (Harry Yoo)

- Runtime instead of compile-time slabobj_ext sizing. Avoids wasting memory
  when memory allocation profiling is compiled but not enabled, with initial
  partial support to also avoid wasting memory for objcg pointers when those
  are not needed, while profiling is enabled. (Vlastimil Babka)

- Various non-urgent fixes, cleanups and optimizations. (Hao Li, Hongling Zeng,
  Li RongQing, Li Xiasong, Seongjun Hong, Shengming Hu)
