Folks from non-slab subsystems are Cc'd only to patches affecting them, and
this cover letter.

Series also available in git, based on 5.16-rc3:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/linux.git/log/?h=slab-struct_slab-v2r2

Pushed a new branch slab-struct-slab-v3r3 with accumulated fixes and small tweaks
and a new patch from Hyeonggon Yoo on top. To avoid too much spam, here's a range diff:

Hi, I've pushed another update branch slab-struct_slab-v4r1, and also to
-next. I've shortened git commit log lines to make checkpatch happier,
so no range-diff as it would be too long. I believe it would be useless
spam to post the whole series now, shortly before xmas, so I will do it
at rc8 time, to hopefully collect remaining reviews. But if anyone wants
a mailed version, I can do that.

Hello Vlastimil, Merry Christmas!
This is part 2 of reviewing/testing patches.

# mm/kasan: Convert to struct folio and struct slab
I'm not familiar with kasan yet but kasan runs well on my machine and
kasan's bug report functionality too works fine.
Tested-by: Hyeongogn Yoo <redacted>

# mm: Convert struct page to struct slab in functions used by other subsystems
I'm not familiar with kasan, but to ask:
Does ____kasan_slab_free detect invalid free if someone frees
an object that is not allocated from slab?

@@ -341,7 +341,7 @@ static inline bool ____kasan_slab_free(struct kmem_cache *cache, void *object,
-       if (unlikely(nearest_obj(cache, virt_to_head_page(object), object) !=

I'm asking this because virt_to_slab() will return NULL if folio_test_slab()
returns false. That will cause NULL pointer dereference in nearest_obj.
I don't think this change is intended.

This makes me think some of virt_to_head_page() -> virt_to_slab()
conversion need to be reviewed with caution.

I'll come back with part 3 :)
Enjoy your Christmas!

Changes in v4:
- rebase to 5.16-rc6 to avoid a conflict with mainline
- collect acks/reviews/tested-by from Johannes, Roman, Hyeonggon Yoo -
thanks!
- in patch "mm/slub: Convert detached_freelist to use a struct slab"
renamed free_nonslab_page() to free_large_kmalloc() and use folio there,
as suggested by Roman
- in "mm/memcg: Convert slab objcgs from struct page to struct slab"
change one caller of slab_objcgs_check() to slab_objcgs() as suggested
by Johannes, realize the other caller should be also changed, and remove
slab_objcgs_check() completely.
