[PATCH 00/62] Separate struct slab from struct page

["Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org>]

This is an offshoot of the folio work, although it does not depend on any
of the outstanding pieces of folio work.  One of the more complex parts
of the struct page definition is the parts used by the slab allocators.
It would be good for the MM in general if struct slab were its own data
type, and it also helps to prevent tail pages from slipping in anywhere.

The slub conversion is done "properly", ie in individually reviewable,
bisectable chunks.  The slab & slob conversions are slapdash.  The
patches to switch bootmem & zsmalloc away from slab elements are also
expedient instead of well thought through.  The KASAN and memcg parts
would also benefit from a more thoughtful approach.

I'm not entirely happy with slab_test_cache() for a predicate name.
I actually liked SlabAllocation() better, but then I remembered that we're
trying to get away from InterCapping, and somehow slab_test_allocation()
didn't feel right either.

I don't know the slab allocators terribly well, so I would be very
grateful if one of the slab maintainers took over this effort.  This is
kind of a distraction from what I'm really trying to accomplish with
folios, although it has found one minor bug.
