Hmmm.. Is that really necessary? Code knows the type of field and can
use sizeof type.

Also this is a non slab change hidden in the patchset.

This will ultimately make all slabs unmergeable at the end of your
patchset? Lots of space will be wasted. Is there any way to make this
feature optional?

#ifdef CONFIG_HARDENED around this?

Well this makes the slab created unmergeable.

Ok this makes the kmalloc array unmergeable.

So useroffset is not exposed?
