     mm/slub: fix a memory leak in sysfs_slab_add()

BUG: KASAN: double-free or invalid-free in slab_free mm/slub.c:3142 [inline]
BUG: KASAN: double-free or invalid-free in kmem_cache_free+0x82/0x350 mm/slub.c:3158
The p9 part of this bug report seems to be a red herring.

The problem looks like it's simply the kmem_cache failure case, ie:

  - mm/slab_common.c: create_cache(): if the __kmem_cache_create()
fails, it does:

         out_free_cache:
                 kmem_cache_free(kmem_cache, s);

  - but __kmem_cache_create() - at least for slub() - will have done

         sysfs_slab_add(s) .. fails ..
             -> kobject_del(&s->kobj); .. which frees s ...

so the networking and p9 are fine, and the only reason p9 shows up in
the trace is that apparently it causes that failure in
kobject_init_and_add() for whatever reason, and that then exposes the
problem.

So the added kobject_put() really looks buggy in this situation, and
the memory leak that that commit dde3c6b72a16 ("mm/slub: fix a memory
leak in sysfs_slab_add()") fixes is now a double free.

And no, I don't think you can just remove the kmem_cache_free() in
create_cache(), because _other_ error cases of __kmem_cache_create()
do not free this.

Wang Hai - comments? I'm inclined to revert that commit for now unless
somebody can come up with a proper fix..

Hi, Linus.
I'm sorry for introducing this bug, and I agree to revert it.
I've just sent the revert patch.
