Patch series "mm: Expand CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED to include SLAB" In reviewing Vlastimil Babka's latest slub debug series, I realized[1] that several checks under CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED weren't being applied to SLAB. Fix this by expanding the Kconfig coverage, and adding a simple double-free test for SLAB. This patch (of 2): Include SLAB caches when performing kmem_cache pointer verification. A defense against such corruption[1] should be applied to all the allocators. With this added, the "SLAB_FREE_CROSS" and "SLAB_FREE_PAGE" LKDTM tests now pass on SLAB: lkdtm: Performing direct entry SLAB_FREE_CROSS lkdtm: Attempting cross-cache slab free ... ------------[ cut here ]------------ cache_from_obj: Wrong slab cache. lkdtm-heap-b but object is from lkdtm-heap-a WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 2195 at mm/slab.h:530 kmem_cache_free+0x8d/0x1d0 ... lkdtm: Performing direct entry SLAB_FREE_PAGE lkdtm: Attempting non-Slab slab free ... ------------[ cut here ]------------ virt_to_cache: Object is not a Slab page!

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.
