The stride field is used to convert object index to an slabobj_ext so both compact arrays (kmalloc() or in-slab-leftover) and spread in-object-padding obj_ext layouts are supported. In practice thus the stride is always sizeof(slabobj_ext) or s->size. This simplifies the calculations, but with the upcoming slabobj_ext handling changes, it will be easier to stop storing the stride and instead just have a flag whether obj_ext is in the object padding. obj_exts_in_object() can then rely on this flag and slab_obj_ext() can use that to determine the stride. No functional change intended. Performance impact TBD, hopefully in the noise.
