Hello Vlastimil, Merry Christmas!
This is part 2 of reviewing/testing patches.

# mm/kasan: Convert to struct folio and struct slab
I'm not familiar with kasan yet but kasan runs well on my machine and
kasan's bug report functionality too works fine.
Tested-by: Hyeongogn Yoo <42.hyeyoo@xxxxxxxxx>

# mm: Convert struct page to struct slab in functions used by other subsystems
I'm not familiar with kasan, but to ask:
Does ____kasan_slab_free detect invalid free if someone frees
an object that is not allocated from slab?

@@ -341,7 +341,7 @@ static inline bool ____kasan_slab_free(struct kmem_cache *cache, void *object,
-       if (unlikely(nearest_obj(cache, virt_to_head_page(object), object) !=
+       if (unlikely(nearest_obj(cache, virt_to_slab(object), object) !=
            object)) {
                kasan_report_invalid_free(tagged_object, ip);
                return true;

I'm asking this because virt_to_slab() will return NULL if folio_test_slab()
returns false. That will cause NULL pointer dereference in nearest_obj.
I don't think this change is intended.

This makes me think some of virt_to_head_page() -> virt_to_slab()
conversion need to be reviewed with caution.

# mm/slab: Convert most struct page to struct slab by spatch

I'll come back with part 3 :)
Enjoy your Christmas!
