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.
