Subject: [PATCH v3 01/17] slab: Reimplement page_slab()
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 21:44:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251024204434.2461319-2-willy@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251024204434.2461319-1-willy@infradead.org>
In order to separate slabs from folios, we need to convert from any page
in a slab to the slab directly without going through a page to folio
conversion first. page_slab() is a little different from other memdesc
converters we have in that it will return NULL if the page is not part
of a slab. This will be the normal style for memdesc converters in
the future.
kfence was the only user of page_slab(), so adjust it to the new way
of working. It will need to be touched again when we separate slab
from page.
