[-- Attachment #1: 0011-slab_defrag_get_page_unless.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 788 bytes --]

SLUB uses compound pages for larger slabs. We need to increment
the page count of these pages in order to make sure that they are not
freed under us for reclaim from within lumpy reclaim.

(The patch is also part of the large blocksize patchset)
