Merge tag 'slab-for-6.13-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - Add new slab_strict_numa boot parameter to enforce per-object memory
   policies on top of slab folio policies, for systems where saving cost
   of remote accesses is more important than minimizing slab allocation
   overhead (Christoph Lameter)

 - Fix for freeptr_offset alignment check being too strict for m68k
   (Geert Uytterhoeven)

 - krealloc() fixes for not violating __GFP_ZERO guarantees on
   krealloc() when slub_debug (redzone and object tracking) is enabled
   (Feng Tang)

 - Fix a memory leak in case sysfs registration fails for a slab cache,
   and also no longer fail to create the cache in that case (Hyeonggon
   Yoo)

 - Fix handling of detected consistency problems (due to buggy slab
   user) with slub_debug enabled, so that it does not cause further list
   corruption bugs (yuan.gao)

 - Code cleanup and kerneldocs polishing (Zhen Lei, Vlastimil Babka)

+	slab_strict_numa	[MM]
+			Support memory policies on a per object level
+			in the slab allocator. The default is for memory
+			policies to be applied at the folio level when
+			a new folio is needed or a partial folio is
+			retrieved from the lists. Increases overhead
+			in the slab fastpaths but gains more accurate
+			NUMA kernel object placement which helps with slow
+			interconnects in NUMA systems.
