Hi Suren,

Thanks for reply!
But what's the point of 2 members match each other in different struct?
Is there any problem w/o the match checking on CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y
&& CONFIG_MEMCG=n?

No, the kernel works well under my test with MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING/MEMCG/KASAN
random combined. 

As Willy's purpose, the page struct will be replaced by "unsigned long mem_desc;"
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YvV1KTyzZ+Jrtj9x@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
With this destination, slab, folio, page struct better be used differently
and not to relay on each other.

In fact there is another solution work conventionally for logical match:

diff --git a/include/linux/mm_types.h b/include/linux/mm_types.h
index ef09c4eef6d3..8f9a01a24f18 100644
--- a/include/linux/mm_types.h
+++ b/include/linux/mm_types.h
@@ -180,7 +180,7 @@ struct page {
        /* Usage count. *DO NOT USE DIRECTLY*. See page_ref.h */
        atomic_t _refcount;

+#if defined(CONFIG_SLAB_OBJ_EXT) || defined(CONIFG_MEMCG)
        unsigned long memcg_data;
 #endif
 
@@ -343,7 +343,7 @@ struct folio {
                        };
                        atomic_t _mapcount;

-#ifdef CONFIG_SLAB_OBJ_EXT
+#if defined(CONFIG_SLAB_OBJ_EXT) || defined(CONIFG_MEMCG)
                        unsigned long memcg_data;
 #endif
 #if defined(WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL)

But compere above convention solution, the current way is simple and closer
to our destination, and we could easy fall back even it fails, isn't it?

Thanks
