From 9de209c183de3a52220b37262e2a0e0d52719de5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David Hildenbrand (Arm)" Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 13:04:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] kasan: docs: SLUB is the only remaining slab implementation We have only the SLUB implementation left in the kernel (referred to as "slab"). Therefore, there is nothing special regarding KASAN modes when it comes to the slab allocator anymore. Drop the stale comment regarding differing SLUB vs. SLAB support.
