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.
