Yes, it was the same before commit b9ce5ef49f00. The commit could have been more
precise - kmemcg needs virt_to_cache(), but not the sanity check. The SLUB
version also shouldn't really be doing the sanity check if only
memcg_kmem_enabled() is true (and not the debugging/hardening), but the code
then looks ugly and I hope this will just fix itself with your kmemcg slab
rework.

Well, only in the kmemcg case it should be possible.

Looks fine to me. If we are called with non-NULL s, and kmemcg is not enabled,
we can just trust s. If we are called with NULL s (via kfree_bulk()) we need to
get cache from the object, even if kmemcg is not enabled, so we do
virt_to_cache() unconditionally.
Once your series is fully accepted, we can remove SLAB's cache_from_obj() and
the whole 'else' part in the hunk above. Or am I missing something?

I think the result would be more obfuscated than just making it plain that SLAB
doesn't have those SLUB features. And I still hope SLAB's version will go away
completely. If your series is accepted first, then this patch based in that will
not introduce slab.c cache_from_obj() at all.
