Pravin B Shelar 5bf5f03c27 mm: fix slab->page flags corruption ... Transparent huge pages can change page->flags (PG_compound_lock) without taking Slab lock. Since THP can not break slab pages we can safely access compound page without taking compound lock. Specifically this patch fixes a race between compound_unlock() and slab functions which perform page-flags updates. This can occur when get_page()/put_page() is called on a page from slab.
