+ * ksize - get the actual amount of memory allocated for a given object
+ * @objp: Pointer to the object
+ *
+ * kmalloc may internally round up allocations and return more memory
+ * than requested. ksize() can be used to determine the actual amount of
+ * memory allocated. The caller may use this additional memory, even though
+ * a smaller amount of memory was initially specified with the kmalloc call.
+ * The caller must guarantee that objp points to a valid object previously
+ * allocated with either kmalloc() or kmem_cache_alloc(). The object
+ * must not be freed during the duration of the call.
