[PATCH v3] mm/slub: Avoid list corruption when removing a slab from the full list

From: yuan.gao
Date: Fri Oct 11 2024 - 06:46:48 EST


Boot with slub_debug=UFPZ.

If allocated object failed in alloc_consistency_checks, all objects of
the slab will be marked as used, and then the slab will be removed from
the partial list.

When an object belonging to the slab got freed later, the remove_full()
function is called. Because the slab is neither on the partial list nor
on the full list, it eventually lead to a list corruption.

So we need to mark and isolate the corrupted slab page, do not put it
back in circulation.

Because the debug caches avoid all the fastpaths, reusing the frozen bit
seems to be fine.

v3:
- Reuse slab->fronzen bit as a corrupted marker.

v2:
- Call remove_partial() and add_full() only for slab folios.
