[PATCH RFC 02/12] mm/slab: remove objs_per_slab()

From: "Vlastimil Babka (SUSE)" <vbabka@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-07-15 10:10:53
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: kfence, memory management, slab allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Potapenko, Marco Elver, Andrew Morton, Vlastimil Babka, Harry Yoo, Linus Torvalds

The function has an unused kmem_cache argument and almost nothing uses
it anyway; doing slab->objects is simpler. Remove it with the last two
users. KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ() needs a cast to avoid "error: ‘typeof’ applied
to a bit-field" but we don't need to keep a wrapper just for that.
