In slub_def.h file, the kmalloc_index() may return -1 for some special cases.
If that negative return value gets assigned to "index", it might lead to issues
later as the variable "index" is used as index to array "kmalloc_caches" in :
return kmalloc_caches[index];
Please let me know your comments.
