Did you check how much this will make kernel text bigger because of the
inlining happening in kmem_cache_alloc_notrace()?


I'm not sure I understood what you meant, but I'm not inlining
kmem_cache_alloc_notrace(), and instead I'm removing the inline
version in !CONFIG_KMEMTRACE case.

In SLUB, slab_alloc() will be inlined to kmem_cache_alloc_notrace() increasing mm/slub.o size so we don't want to define kmem_cache_alloc_notrace() unconditionally.
