commit 8f0b36497303487d5a32c75789c77859cc2ee895 upstream. If the kfence object is allocated to be used for objects vector, then this slot of the pool eventually being occupied permanently since the vector is never freed. The solutions could be (1) freeing vector when the kfence object is freed or (2) allocating all vectors statically. Since the memory consumption of object vectors is low, it is better to chose (2) to fix the issue and it is also can reduce overhead of vectors allocating in the future.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
