The current uses of PageAnon in page table check functions can lead to
type confusion bugs between struct page and slab [1], if slab pages are
accidentally mapped into the user space. This is because slab reuses the
bits in struct page to store its internal states, which renders PageAnon
ineffective on slab pages.
Since slab pages are not expected to be mapped into the user space, this
patch adds BUG_ON(PageSlab(page)) checks to make sure that slab pages
are not inadvertently mapped. Otherwise, there must be some bugs in the
kernel.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
