Before the release of the `Linux 7.3-rc2` kernel, Linus Torvalds merged an update that caused numerous code changes, converting more `kmalloc()` function calls to the improved `kmalloc_obj()` function family. This tree-level work aimed to completely migrate the memory allocation method to utilize the improved features of the `kmalloc_obj()` series of functions.
