[PATCH] codetag: debug: Handle existing CODETAG_EMPTY in mark_objexts_empty for slabobj_ext
From: Hao Ge
Date: Mon Oct 27 2025 - 05:04:35 EST
From: Hao Ge <gehao@xxxxxxxxxx>
Even though obj_exts was created with the __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT flag,
objects in the same slab may have their extensions allocated via
alloc_slab_obj_exts, and handle_failed_objexts_alloc may be called
within alloc_slab_obj_exts to set their codetag to CODETAG_EMPTY.
Therefore, both NULL and CODETAG_EMPTY are valid for the codetag of
slabobj_ext, as we do not need to re-set it to CODETAG_EMPTY if it
is already CODETAG_EMPTY. It also resolves the warning triggered when
the codetag is CODETAG_EMPTY during slab freeing.
Fixes: 09c46563ff6d ("codetag: debug: introduce OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAIL to mark failed slab_ext allocations")
