This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mm/slub.c: fix corrupted freechain in deactivate_slab() to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mm-slub.c-fix-corrupted-freechain-in-deactivate_slab.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ecc0e10d80e57864ea3e831dd3850c7a557ae5e3 Author: Dongli Zhang <dongli.zhang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jun 1 21:45:47 2020 -0700 mm/slub.c: fix corrupted freechain in deactivate_slab() [ Upstream commit 52f23478081ae0dcdb95d1650ea1e7d52d586829 ] The slub_debug is able to fix the corrupted slab freelist/page. However, alloc_debug_processing() only checks the validity of current and next freepointer during allocation path. As a result, once some objects have their freepointers corrupted, deactivate_slab() may lead to page fault. Below is from a test kernel module when 'slub_debug=PUF,kmalloc-128 slub_nomerge'. The test kernel corrupts the freepointer of one free object on purpose. Unfortunately, deactivate_slab() does not detect it when iterating the freechain. BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00000000123456f8 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI ... ...

Once an object's freepointer is corrupted, all following objects starting at this object are isolated.
