  Hi,

The previous version (RFC, no cover letter) is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220826090912.11292-1-vbabka@suse.cz/

Git branch is here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab.git/log/?h=slab/for-6.2/fit_rcu_head
(also in linux-next since late last week)

The rationale for doing all this is in patch 3 - I hope there are still
plans for the rcu_head debugging, Joel?

The previous version was in linux-next, which brought crash reports due
to causing false positive __PageMovable() tests. There were several
attempts to deal with it, as explained in Patch 2, which is an updated
version of one of those attempts. It hasn't been formally posted and
reviewed yet, hence this posting.

Thanks,
Vlastimil
