[PATCH] net: bypass ->sendpage for slab pages

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Date: 2020-08-19 05:19:58
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [sockets], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Kuniyuki Iwashima, Willem de Bruijn, Linus Torvalds

Sending Slab or tail pages into ->sendpage will cause really strange
delayed oops.  Prevent it right in the networking code instead of
requiring drivers to guess the exact conditions where sendpage works.

Based on a patch from Coly Li [off-list ref].
