Commit 284f17ac13fe ("mm/slub: handle bulk and single object freeing
separately") splits single and bulk object freeing in two functions
slab_free() and slab_free_bulk() which leads slab_free() to call
slab_free_hook() directly instead of slab_free_freelist_hook().

If `init_on_free` is set, slab_free_hook() zeroes the object.
Afterward, if `slub_debug=F` and `CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED` are
set, the do_slab_free() slowpath executes freelist consistency
checks and try to decode a zeroed freepointer which leads to a
"Freepointer corrupt" detection in check_object().

Object's freepointer thus needs to be properly set using
set_freepointer() after init_on_free.

To reproduce, set `slub_debug=FU init_on_free=1 log_level=7` on the
command line of a kernel build with `CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED=y`.

If init_on_free is set,  slab_free_hook() zeros the object first, then
do_slab_free() calls
set_freepointer() to set the fp value, so there are 8 bytes non-zero
at the moment?
Hence, the issue is not related to init_on_free?

The fp=0x7ee4f480ce0ecd7c here is beyond kernel memory space, is the issue from
CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED enabled?

My understanding of the bug is that slab_free_hook() indeed zeroes the object and its metadata first, then calls do_slab_free() and directly calls __slab_free(), head an tail parameters being set to the object.

If `slub_debug=F` (SLAB_CONSISTENCY_CHECKS) is set, the following call path can be executed :

free_to_partial_list() ->

free_debug_processing() ->

free_consistency_checks() ->

check_object() ->

check_valid_pointer(get_freepointer())

When check_valid_pointer() is called, its object parameter is first decoded by get_freepointer(), if CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED is enabled, zeroed data is then decoded by freelist_ptr_decode() using the (ptr.v ^ s->random ^ swab(ptr_addr)) operation.


Does that makes sense to you or do you think I'm missing something ?


Best regards,
