[PATCH] mm/slub: Fix incorrect checkings of s->offset

From: Waiman Long
Date: Sun Apr 26 2020 - 22:03:11 EST


In a couple of places in the slub memory allocator, the code uses
"s->offset" as a check to see if the free pointer is put right after the
object. That check is no longer true with commit 3202fa62fb43 ("slub:
relocate freelist pointer to middle of object").

As a result, echoing "1" into the validate sysfs file, e.g. of dentry,
may cause a bunch of "Freepointer corrupt" error reports to appear with
the system in panic afterwards.

To fix it, use the check "s->offset == s->inuse" instead.

Fixes: 3202fa62fb43 ("slub: relocate freelist pointer to middle of object")
