[PATCH v3 2/3] slab: don't put freepointer outside of object if only orig_size

From: Chengming Zhou
Date: Fri Jun 07 2024 - 04:41:18 EST


The commit 946fa0dbf2d8 ("mm/slub: extend redzone check to extra
allocated kmalloc space than requested") will extend right redzone
when allocating for orig_size < object_size. So we can't overlay the
freepointer in the object space in this case.

But the code looks like it forgot to check SLAB_RED_ZONE, since there
won't be extended right redzone if only orig_size enabled.

As we are here, make this complex conditional expressions a little
prettier and add some comments about extending right redzone when
slub_debug_orig_size() enabled.
