zsmalloc: fix obj_to_head use page_private(page) as value but not pointer
In obj_malloc():
if (!class->huge)
/* record handle in the header of allocated chunk */
link->handle = handle;
else
/* record handle in first_page->private */
set_page_private(first_page, handle);
In the hugepage we save handle to private directly.
But in obj_to_head():
if (class->huge) {
VM_BUG_ON(!is_first_page(page));
return *(unsigned long *)page_private(page);
} else
return *(unsigned long *)obj;
It is used as a pointer.
The reason why there is no problem until now is huge-class page is born
with ZS_FULL so it can't be migrated. However, we need this patch for
future work: "VM-aware zsmalloced page migration" to reduce external
fragmentation.
