[PATCH mm-unstable] mm/kasan: use SLAB_NO_MERGE flag instead of an empty constructor

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Use SLAB_NO_MERGE flag to prevent merging instead of providing an
empty constructor. Using an empty constructor in this manner is an abuse
of slab interface.

The SLAB_NO_MERGE flag should be used with caution, but in this case,
it is acceptable as the cache is intended solely for debugging purposes.

No functional changes intended.
