Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
 "This time it's mostly refactoring and improving APIs for slab users in
  the kernel, along with some debugging improvements.

   - kmem_cache_create() refactoring (Christian Brauner)

     Over the years have been growing new parameters to
     kmem_cache_create() where most of them are needed only for a small
     number of caches - most recently the rcu_freeptr_offset parameter.

     To avoid adding new parameters to kmem_cache_create() and adjusting
     all its callers, or creating new wrappers such as
     kmem_cache_create_rcu(), we can now pass extra parameters using the
     new struct kmem_cache_args. Not explicitly initialized fields
     default to values interpreted as unused.

     kmem_cache_create() is for now a wrapper that works both with the
     new form: kmem_cache_create(name, object_size, args, flags) and the
     legacy form: kmem_cache_create(name, object_size, align, flags,
     ctor)

   - kmem_cache_destroy() waits for kfree_rcu()'s in flight (Vlastimil
     Babka, Uladislau Rezki)

     Since SLOB removal, kfree() is allowed for freeing objects
     allocated by kmem_cache_create(). By extension kfree_rcu() as
     allowed as well, which can allow converting simple call_rcu()
     callbacks that only do kmem_cache_free(), as there was never a
     kmem_cache_free_rcu() variant. However, for caches that can be
     destroyed e.g. on module removal, the cache owners knew to issue
     rcu_barrier() first to wait for the pending call_rcu()'s, and this
     is not sufficient for pending kfree_rcu()'s due to its internal
     batching optimizations. Ulad has provided a new
     kvfree_rcu_barrier() and to make the usage less error-prone,
     kmem_cache_destroy() calls it. Additionally, destroying
     SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches now again issues rcu_barrier()
     synchronously instead of using an async work, because the past
     motivation for async work no longer applies. Users of custom
     call_rcu() callbacks should however keep calling rcu_barrier()
     before cache destruction.

   - Debugging use-after-free in SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches (Jann Horn)

     Currently, KASAN cannot catch UAFs in such caches as it is legal to
     access them within a grace period, and we only track the grace
     period when trying to free the underlying slab page. The new
     CONFIG_SLUB_RCU_DEBUG option changes the freeing of individual
     object to be RCU-delayed, after which KASAN can poison them.

   - Delayed memcg charging (Shakeel Butt)

     In some cases, the memcg is uknown at allocation time, such as
     receiving network packets in softirq context. With
     kmem_cache_charge() these may be now charged later when the user
     and its memcg is known.

   - Misc fixes and improvements (Pedro Falcato, Axel Rasmussen,
     Christoph Lameter, Yan Zhen, Peng Fan, Xavier)"
