Subject: [PATCH v2 02/11] slab: Rename slab->__page_flags to slab->flags
Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2025 16:59:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250611155916.2579160-3-willy@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250611155916.2579160-1-willy@infradead.org>

Slab has its own reasons for using flag bits; they aren't just
the page bits.  Maybe this won't be the ultimate solution, but
we should be clear that these bits are in use.
