Excuse me for that. See the fixed patch below. -- >8 -- Add an assertion similar to "fasttop" check in GNU C Library allocator as a part of SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED feature. An object added to a singly linked freelist should not point to itself. That helps to detect some double free errors (e.g. CVE-2017-2636) without slub_debug and KASAN.
