Merge tag 'slab-for-7.2-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab fixes from Vlastimil Babka: - Prevent unbounded recursion in free path with memory allocation profiling, which has caused a stack overflow on a Meta production host due to a 125-deep __free_slab<->kfree recursion (Harry Yoo) - Fix type-based partitioning confusing sparse which does not know __builtin_infer_alloc_token() (Marco Elver) - Fix a potential memory leak in bulk freeing path on NUMA machines (Shengming Hu) * tag 'slab-for-7.2-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab: slab: silence sparse warning with type-based partitioning mm/slab: prevent unbounded recursion in free path with new kmalloc type lib/alloc_tag: introduce mem_alloc_profiling_permanently_disabled() mm/slab: decouple SLAB_NO_SHEAVES from SLAB_NO_OBJ_EXT mm/slab: fix a memory leak due to bootstrapping sheaves twice mm/slub: fix lost local objects when bulk remote free batch fills
