[PATCH v2 01/15] slab: correct pfmemalloc check

From: Joonsoo Kim
Date: Wed Oct 16 2013 - 04:44:22 EST


We checked pfmemalloc by slab unit, not page unit. You can see this
in is_slab_pfmemalloc(). So other pages don't need to be set/cleared
pfmemalloc.

And, therefore we should check pfmemalloc in page flag of first page,
but current implementation don't do that. virt_to_head_page(obj) just
return 'struct page' of that object, not one of first page, since the SLAB
don't use __GFP_COMP when CONFIG_MMU. To get 'struct page' of first page,
we first get a slab and try to get it via virt_to_head_page(slab->s_mem).
