Subject[PATCH 07/16] page-flags: define behavior SL*B-related flags on compound pages
Date
SL*B uses compound pages and marks head pages with PG_slab.
__SetPageSlab() and __ClearPageSlab() are never called for tail pages.

The same situation with PG_slob_free in SLOB allocator.

PF_NO_TAIL is appropriate for these flags.
