In the next commit we want to rearrange struct slab fields to allow a larger rcu_head. Afterwards, the page->mapping field will overlap with SLUB's "struct list_head slab_list", where the value of prev pointer can become LIST_POISON2, which is 0x122 + POISON_POINTER_DELTA. Unfortunately the bit 1 being set can confuse PageMovable() to be a false positive and cause a GPF as reported by lkp [1]. To fix this, make isolate_movable_page() skip pages with the PageSlab flag set. This is a bit tricky as we need to add memory barriers to SLAB and SLUB's page allocation and freeing, and their counterparts to isolate_movable_page(). Based on my RFC from [2]. Added a comment update from Matthew's variant in [3] and, as done there, moved the PageSlab checks to happen before trying to take the page lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
