Merge tag 'slab-for-6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - Convert struct slab to its own flags instead of referencing page
   flags, which is another preparation step before separating it from
   struct page completely.

   Along with that, a bunch of documentation fixes and cleanups (Matthew
   Wilcox)

 - Convert large kmalloc to use frozen pages in order to be consistent
   with non-large kmalloc slabs (Vlastimil Babka)

 - MAINTAINERS updates (Matthew Wilcox, Lorenzo Stoakes)

 - Restore NUMA policy support for large kmalloc, broken by mistake in
   v6.1 (Vlastimil Babka)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
