mm: prevent mapping slab pages to userspace
It's never appropriate to map a page allocated by SLAB into userspace. A buggy device driver might try this, or an attacker might be able to find a way to make it happen. Christoph said: : Let's just fail the code. Currently this may work with SLUB. But SLAB : and SLOB overlay fields with mapcount. So you would have a corrupted page : struct if you mapped a slab page to user space.
