[RFC PATCH v1 15/15] mm/sl[au]b: check if large object is valid in __ksize()

From: Hyeonggon Yoo
Date: Tue Mar 08 2022 - 06:43:46 EST


__ksize() returns size of objects allocated from slab allocator.
When invalid object is passed to __ksize(), returning zero
prevents further memory corruption and makes caller be able to
check if there is an error.

If address of large object is not beginning of folio or size of
the folio is too small, it must be invalid. Return zero in such cases.
