[RFC PATCH 02/14] mm/slub: add is_slab_addr/is_slab_page helpers

From: Matteo Rizzo
Date: Fri Sep 15 2023 - 06:59:52 EST


From: Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx>

This is refactoring in preparation for adding two different
implementations (for SLAB_VIRTUAL enabled and disabled).

virt_to_folio(x) expands to _compound_head(virt_to_page(x)) and
virt_to_head_page(x) also expands to _compound_head(virt_to_page(x))

so PageSlab(virt_to_head_page(res)) should be equivalent to
is_slab_addr(res).
