[PATCH v2 2/2] mm/slub, kunit: Add a test case for kmalloc redzone check

From: Feng Tang
Date: Tue Nov 29 2022 - 01:37:06 EST


kmalloc redzone check for slub has been merged, and it's better to add
a kunit case for it, which is inspired by a real-world case as described
in commit 120ee599b5bf ("staging: octeon-usb: prevent memory corruption"):

"
octeon-hcd will crash the kernel when SLOB is used. This usually happens
after the 18-byte control transfer when a device descriptor is read.
The DMA engine is always transferring full 32-bit words and if the
transfer is shorter, some random garbage appears after the buffer.
The problem is not visible with SLUB since it rounds up the allocations
to word boundary, and the extra bytes will go undetected.
"

To avoid interrupting the normal functioning of kmalloc caches, a
kmem_cache mimicing kmalloc cache is created with similar and all
necessary flags to have kmalloc-redzone enabled, and kmalloc_trace()
is used to really test the orig_size and redzone setup.

since v1:
* create a new cache mimicing kmalloc cache, reduce dependency
over global slub_debug setting (Vlastimil Babka)
