Commit Message

andrey.konovalov@linux.dev Dec. 19, 2023, 10:28 p.m. UTC 
  From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com>

Introduce a new mempool_alloc_preallocated API that asks the mempool to
only use the elements preallocated during the mempool's creation when
allocating and to not attempt allocating new ones from the underlying
allocator.

This API is required to test the KASAN poisoning/unpoisoning
functionality in KASAN tests, but it might be also useful on its own.

Signed-off-by: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com>

---

Changes RFC->v1:
- Introduce a new mempool_alloc_preallocated API instead of adding a flag
  into mempool_t.
