um...
obj_to_head() is not for obj_malloc(), but for record_obj() that follows.
handle is a `void *' returned from alloc_handle()->kmem_cache_alloc(), and
casted to 'unsigned long'.
we store obj as:
static void record_obj(unsigned long handle, unsigned long obj)
{
*(unsigned long *)handle = obj;
}
regardless `class->huge'.
and retrieve it as `*(unsigned long *)foo', which is either
`*(unsigned long *)page_private(page)'
or
`*(unsigned long *)obj'
'return p' and `return *p' do slightly different things for pointers.
am I missing something?
