[PATCH v2 00/16] slab: Introduce kmalloc_size_roundup()

Hi,

The main details on this series are in patch #2's commit log. It's long,
so I won't repeat it again here for the v2. As before, I've tried to
trim the CC list.

v2:
- _keep_ ksize(), but remove instrumentation (makes patch series smaller)
- reorganized skbuff logic to avoid yet more copy/paste code
- added a WARN to a separate skbuff ksize usage
- add new refactorings: bpf, openvswitch, devres, mempool, kasan
- dropped "independent" patches: iwlwifi, x86/microcode/AMD (sent separately)
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220922031013.2150682-1-keescook@chromium.org

Notes:

Originally when I was going to entirely remove ksize(), there were a
handful for refactorings that just needed to do ksize -> __ksize. In
the end, it was cleaner to actually leave ksize() as a real function,
just without the kasan instrumentation. I wonder, however, if it should
be converted into a static inline now?

I dropped Jakub's Ack because I refactored that code a bunch more.

The 2 patches that didn't need to call kmalloc_size_roundup() don't need
to be part of this series. (One is already in -next, actually.)

I'd like to land at least the first two patches in the coming v6.1 merge
window so that the per-subsystem patches can be sent to their various
subsystems directly. Vlastimil, what you think?

Thanks!
