Thus checking for the page pointer is required too. The cache flush is done through an inter processor interrupt when a piece of memory is off-lined. That interrupt is triggered when a memory hot-unplug operation is initiated and offline_pages() is calling the slub's MEM_GOING_OFFLINE callback slab_mem_going_offline_callback() which is calling flush_cpu_slab(). If that interrupt is caught between the reading of c->freelist and the reading of c->page, this could lead to such a situation. That situation is expected and the later call to this_cpu_cmpxchg_double() will detect the change to c->freelist and redo the whole operation. In commit 6159d0f5c03e ("mm/slub.c: page is always non-NULL in node_match()") check on the page pointer has been removed assuming that page is always valid when it is called. It happens that this is not true in that particular case, so check for page before calling node_match() here.
