I don't get it, isn't that already guaranteed because we
look for the page that ptr is in, before __check_heap_object
is called?

Specifically, in patch 3/12:

+       page = virt_to_head_page(ptr);
+
+       /* Check slab allocator for flags and size. */
+       if (PageSlab(page))
+               return __check_heap_object(ptr, n, page);

How can that generate a ptr that is not inside the page?

What am I overlooking?  And, should it be in the changelog or
a comment? :)
