Hi Chen,

AFAICT compound pages should already be taken into account, because
PageSlab is defined as:

__PAGEFLAG(Slab, slab, PF_NO_TAIL)

#define __PAGEFLAG(uname, lname, policy) \
TESTPAGEFLAG(uname, lname, policy) \
__SETPAGEFLAG(uname, lname, policy) \
__CLEARPAGEFLAG(uname, lname, policy)

#define TESTPAGEFLAG(uname, lname, policy) \
static __always_inline int Page##uname(struct page *page) \
{ return test_bit(PG_##lname, &policy(page, 0)->flags); }

and PF_NO_TAIL policy is defined as:

#define PF_NO_TAIL(page, enforce) ({ \
VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS(enforce && PageTail(page), page); \
PF_POISONED_CHECK(compound_head(page)); })

So compound_head() is called behind the scenes.

Could you please explain what crash did you observe in more detail?
Perhaps you backported this patch to an older kernel?

Thanks,

Ilya
