The main trouble in doing this is to guarantee that PageSlab and PageHeadHuge remains constant for all get_page/put_page run on the tail of slab or hugetlbfs compound pages. Otherwise if they're set during get_page but not set during put_page, the _mapcount of the tail page would underflow. PageHeadHuge will remain true until the compound page is released and enters the buddy allocator so it won't risk to change even if the tail page is the last reference left on the page. PG_slab instead is cleared before the slab frees the head page with put_page, so if the tail pin is released after the slab freed the page, we would have a problem. But in the slab case the tail pin cannot be the last reference left on the page. This is because the slab code is free to reuse the compound page after a kfree/kmem_cache_free without having to check if there's any tail pin left. In turn all tail pins must be always released while the head is still pinned by the slab code and so we know PG_slab will be still set too.
