[linux-next][PATCH v2] mm/slub.c: add a naive detection of double free or corruption

Show all headers | View raw

Add an assertion similar to "fasttop" check in GNU C Library allocator
as a part of SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED feature. An object added to a singly
linked freelist should not point to itself. That helps to detect some
double free errors (e.g. CVE-2017-2636) without slub_debug and KASAN.
