I would like to have a working safe version in -next, even if we are able
simplify it later thanks to frozen refcounts. I've made a formal patch of
yours, but I'm still convinced the slab check needs to be more paranoid so
it can't observe a false positive __folio_test_movable() while missing the
folio_test_slab(), hence I added the barriers as in my previous attempt [1].
Does that work for you and can I add your S-o-b?

Subject: [PATCH] mm/migrate: make isolate_movable_page() skip slab pages

In the next commit we want to rearrange struct slab fields to allow a
larger rcu_head. Afterwards, the page->mapping field will overlap
with SLUB's "struct list_head slab_list", where the value of prev
pointer can become LIST_POISON2, which is 0x122 + POISON_POINTER_DELTA.
Unfortunately the bit 1 being set can confuse PageMovable() to be a
false positive and cause a GPF as reported by lkp [1].

I think the real problem here is that isolate_movable_page() is
insufficiently paranoid. Looking at the gyrations that GUP and the
page cache do to convince themselves that the page they got really is
the page they wanted, there are a few missing pieces (eg checking that
you actually got a refcount on _this_ page and not some random other
page you were temporarily part of a compound page with).

This patch does three things:

- Turns one of the comments into English. There are some others
which I'm still scratching my head over.
- Uses a folio to help distinguish which operations are being done
to the head vs the specific page (this is somewhat an abuse of the
folio concept, but it's acceptable)
- Add the aforementioned check that we're actually operating on the
page that we think we want to be.
- Add a check that the folio isn't secretly a slab.

We could put the slab check in PageMapping and call it after taking
the folio lock, but that seems pointless. It's the acquisition of
the refcount which stabilises the slab flag, not holding the lock.

[ vbabka@suse.cz: add memory barriers to SLAB and SLUB's page allocation
and freeing, and their counterparts to isolate_movable_page(), to make
the checks for folio_test_slab() and __folio_test_movable() SMP safe ]
