Subject: slab: introduce krealloc
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fd76bab2fa6d8f3ef6b326a4c6ae442fa21d30a4;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

slab: introduce krealloc

This introduce krealloc() that reallocates memory while keeping the contents
unchanged.  The allocator avoids reallocation if the new size fits the
currently used cache.  I also added a simple non-optimized version for
mm/slob.c for compatibility.
