From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 73293c2f900d0adbb6a415b312cd57976d5ae242 upstream. We checked pfmemalloc by slab unit, not page unit. You can see this in is_slab_pfmemalloc(). So other pages don't need to be set/cleared pfmemalloc. And, therefore we should check pfmemalloc in page flag of first page, but current implementation don't do that. virt_to_head_page(obj) just return 'struct page' of that object, not one of first page, since the SLAB don't use __GFP_COMP when CONFIG_MMU. To get 'struct page' of first page, we first get a slab and try to get it via virt_to_head_page(slab->s_mem).
