Subject: zsmalloc: fix obj_to_head use page_private(page) as value but not pointer
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=12a7bfad58cd604616dd5205efa6dc2be6f299eb;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

zsmalloc: fix obj_to_head use page_private(page) as value but not pointer

In obj_malloc():

	if (!class->huge)
		/* record handle in the header of allocated chunk */
		link->handle = handle;
	else
		/* record handle in first_page->private */
		set_page_private(first_page, handle);

In the hugepage we save handle to private directly.

But in obj_to_head():

	if (class->huge) {
		VM_BUG_ON(!is_first_page(page));
		return *(unsigned long *)page_private(page);
	} else
		return *(unsigned long *)obj;

It is used as a pointer.

The reason why there is no problem until now is huge-class page is born
with ZS_FULL so it can't be migrated.  However, we need this patch for
future work: "VM-aware zsmalloced page migration" to reduce external
fragmentation.
