PATCH 1/1 mm/slab: fix 'variable obj_exts set but not used' warning

slab_post_alloc_hook() uses prepare_slab_obj_exts_hook() to obtain slabobj_ext object. Currently the only user of slabobj_ext object in this path is memory allocation profiling, therefore when it's not enabled this object is not needed. This also generates a warning when compiling with CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=n. Move the code under this configuration to fix the warning. If more slabobj_ext users appear in the future, the code will have to be changed back to call prepare_slab_obj_exts_hook().

Fixes 4b8736964640 ("mm/slab: add allocation accounting into slab allocation and free paths")

But it seems to me we could remove the whole #ifdef if current->alloc_tag (which doesn't exist with !MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING) had an access helper, or there was a alloc_tag_add_current() variant?

Hmm. I'll check if current->alloc_tag is the only reason for this ifdef. If so then you are correct and we can simplify this code.

The fix is now in mm-hotfixes-stable but we can cleanup for the future as a non-hotfix.

obj_exts->ref was also undefined when !MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING, so I moved that call into a separate hook. It's posted at

Thanks,
