[PATCH 2/2] slab: Add naive detection of double free

From: Kees Cook
Date: Wed Jun 17 2020 - 15:54:07 EST


Similar to commit ce6fa91b9363 ("mm/slub.c: add a naive detection
of double free or corruption"), add a very cheap double-free check
for SLAB under CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED. With this added, the
"SLAB_FREE_DOUBLE" LKDTM test passes under SLAB:

lkdtm: Performing direct entry SLAB_FREE_DOUBLE
lkdtm: Attempting double slab free ...
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 2193 at mm/slab.c:757 ___cache _free+0x325/0x390
