Subject: [RFC/PATCH 2/3] SLUB: make ksize() more strict for page allocator
 pass-through

From: Pekka Enberg <penberg@...helsinki.fi>

This patch changes ksize() to be more strict with objets passed to it. We now
set PageSlab also for objects allocated with page allocator and use page->slab
to check whether page is a regular slab page or a pass-through page.

Also moves kmalloc_large() out-of-line as it's too big for inlining now.
