Could we not just do this: #define SLAB_NEVER_MERGE (SLAB_RED_ZONE | SLAB_POISON | SLAB_STORE_USER | \ SLAB_TRACE | SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU | SLAB_NOLEAKTRACE | \ SLAB_FAILSLAB | kasan_never_merge()) ?? Of course that might be problematic if this always needs to be a compile-time constant, but currently that's not a requirement. > +/* KASAN allows merging in some configurations and will remove SLAB_KASAN. */ > +#define slab_never_merge() (kasan_never_merge(SLAB_NEVER_MERGE)) Braces unnecessary. > #define SLAB_MERGE_SAME (SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT | SLAB_CACHE_DMA | \ > SLAB_CACHE_DMA32 | SLAB_ACCOUNT) > > @@ -164,7 +169,7 @@ static unsigned int calculate_alignment(slab_flags_t flags, > */ > int slab_unmergeable(struct kmem_cache *s) > { > - if (slab_nomerge || (s->flags & SLAB_NEVER_MERGE)) > + if (slab_nomerge || (s->flags & slab_never_merge())) > return 1; > > if (s->ctor) > @@ -198,7 +203,7 @@ struct kmem_cache *find_mergeable(unsigned int size, unsigned int align, > size = ALIGN(size, align); > flags = kmem_cache_flags(size, flags, name, NULL); > > - if (flags & SLAB_NEVER_MERGE) > + if (flags & slab_never_merge()) > return NULL; > > list_for_each_entry_reverse(s, &slab_caches, list) { > -- > 2.29.2.222.g5d2a92d10f8-goog >
