[PATCH 4/5] mm, slub: fix potential use-after-free in slab_debugfs_fops

From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Thu Sep 16 2021 - 08:39:08 EST


When sysfs_slab_add failed, we shouldn't call debugfs_slab_add() for s
because s will be freed soon. And slab_debugfs_fops will use s later
leading to a use-after-free.

Fixes: 64dd68497be7 ("mm: slub: move sysfs slab alloc/free interfaces to debugfs")
