[PATCH 1/2] kasan: fix invalid-free test crashing the kernel

From: Andrey Konovalov
Date: Thu Mar 01 2018 - 12:15:59 EST


When an invalid-free is triggered by one of the KASAN tests, the object
doesn't actually get freed. This later leads to a BUG failure in
kmem_cache_destroy that checks that there are no allocated objects in the
cache that is being destroyed. Fix this by calling kmem_cache_free with
the proper object address after the call that triggers invalid-free.
