The commit 946fa0dbf2d8 ("mm/slub: extend redzone check to extra allocated kmalloc space than requested") will extend right redzone when allocating for orig_size < object_size. So we can't overlay the freepointer in the object space in this case. But the code looks like it forgot to check SLAB_RED_ZONE, since there won't be extended right redzone if only orig_size enabled. As we are here, make this complex conditional expressions a little prettier and add some comments about extending right redzone when slub_debug_orig_size() enabled.
