From 71a218ca4fde7255fde96f5dc84e420e496dee17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rustam Kovhaev Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2022 11:39:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: use kmem_cache_free() for kmem_cache objects [ Upstream commit c30a0cbd07ecc0eec7b3cd568f7b1c7bb7913f93 ] For kmalloc() allocations SLOB prepends the blocks with a 4-byte header, and it puts the size of the allocated blocks in that header. Blocks allocated with kmem_cache_alloc() allocations do not have that header. SLOB explodes when you allocate memory with kmem_cache_alloc() and then try to free it with kfree() instead of kmem_cache_free(). SLOB will assume that there is a header when there is none, read some garbage to size variable and corrupt the adjacent objects, which eventually leads to hang or panic. Let's make XFS work with SLOB by using proper free function.
