Subject: [PATCH v4 00/16] Prepare slab for memdescs
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2025 00:09:14 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251113000932.1589073-1-willy@infradead.org> (raw)

When we separate struct folio, struct page and struct slab from each
other, converting to folios then to slabs will be nonsense.  It made
sense under the 'folio is just a head page' interpretation, but with
full separation, page_folio() will return NULL for a page which belongs
to a slab.

This patch series removes almost all mentions of folio from slab.
There are a few folio_test_slab() invocations left around the tree that
I haven't decided how to handle yet.  We're not yet quite at the point
of separately allocating struct slab, but that's what I'll be working
on next.

v4:
 - Rebased on next-20251110 + a couple of fixes
 - Fixed compilation warnings when CONFIG_MEMCG not set
 - Picked up R-b tags from Harry (thanks!)
 - Restored the order of slab vs large_kmalloc tests (Vlastimil)
 - Removed setting of LargeKmalloc on tail pages (Vlastimil)
 - Restored handling of non-slab, non-kmalloc checks in
   check_heap_object() (me)
