SubjectQuestion regarding BUG in mm/slub.c
One of the users of a BCM4312 device hit the BUG in the mm/slub.c version of
kfree in the following code fragment:

page = virt_to_head_page(x);
if (unlikely(!PageSlab(page))) {
BUG_ON(!PageCompound(page));
kmemleak_free(x);
put_page(page);
return;
}

What is the meaning of PageCompound(page) being zero?

For completeness, the system log output is:
