Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - A few non-trivial SLUB code cleanups, most notably a refactoring of
   deactivate_slab().

 - A bunch of trivial changes, such as removal of unused parameters,
   making stuff static, and employing helper functions.

* tag 'slab-for-5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab:
  mm: slub: Delete useless parameter of alloc_slab_page()
  mm: slab: Delete unused SLAB_DEACTIVATED flag
  mm/slub: remove forced_order parameter in calculate_sizes
  mm/slub: refactor deactivate_slab()
  mm/slub: limit number of node partial slabs only in cache creation
  mm/slub: use helper macro __ATTR_XX_MODE for SLAB_ATTR(_RO)
  mm/slab_common: use helper function is_power_of_2()

<title>mm: introduce kmem_cache_alloc_lru</title>

<id>urn:sha1:88f2ef73fd66491a2f9a82373d22ca6540f23c62</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently allocate scope for every memcg to be able to tracked on
every superblock instantiated in the system, regardless of whether that
superblock is even accessible to that memcg.

These huge memcg counts come from container hosts where memcgs are
confined to just a small subset of the total number of superblocks that
instantiated at any given point in time.

For these systems with huge container counts, list_lru does not need the
capability of tracking every memcg on every superblock.  What it comes
down to is that adding the memcg to the list_lru at the first insert.
So introduce kmem_cache_alloc_lru to allocate objects and its list_lru.
In the later patch, we will convert all inode and dentry allocation from
kmem_cache_alloc to kmem_cache_alloc_lru.

Since commit 9855609bde03 ("mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of
kmem_caches for all accounted allocations") deleted all SLAB_DEACTIVATED
users, therefore this flag is not needed any more, let's delete it.

<title>slab: remove __alloc_size attribute from __kmalloc_track_caller</title>

Commit c37495d6254c ("slab: add __alloc_size attributes for better
bounds checking") added __alloc_size attributes to a bunch of kmalloc
function prototypes.  Unfortunately the change to __kmalloc_track_caller
seems to cause clang to generate broken code and the first time this is
called when booting, the box will crash.

While the compiler problems are being reworked and attempted to be
solved [1], let's just drop the attribute to solve the issue now.  Once
it is resolved it can be added back.

<title>mm: Convert check_heap_object() to use struct slab</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0b3eb091d5759479d44cb793fad2c51ea06bdcec</id>
<content type='text'>
Ensure that we're not seeing a tail page inside __check_heap_object() by
converting to a slab instead of a page.  Take the opportunity to mark
the slab as const since we're not modifying it.  Also move the
declaration of __check_heap_object() to mm/slab.h so it's not available
to the wider kernel.

[ vbabka@suse.cz: in check_heap_object() only convert to struct slab for
  actual PageSlab pages; use folio as intermediate step instead of page ]

The minimum supported version of LLVM has been raised to 11.0.0, meaning
this check is always true, so it can be dropped.

This has served its purpose and is no longer used.  All usercopy
violations appear to have been handled by now, any remaining instances
(or new bugs) will cause copies to be rejected.

This isn't a direct revert of commit 2d891fbc3bb6 ("usercopy: Allow
strict enforcement of whitelists"); since usercopy_fallback is
effectively 0, the fallback handling is removed too.

This also removes the usercopy_fallback module parameter on slab_common.

As already done in GrapheneOS, add the __alloc_size attribute for
regular kvmalloc interfaces, to provide additional hinting for better
bounds checking, assisting CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE and other compiler
optimizations.
