The patch titled Subject: mm: slub: really fix slab walking for init_on_free has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-slub-really-fix-slab-walking-for-init_on_free.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Laura Abbott <labbott@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: slub: really fix slab walking for init_on_free Commit 1b7e816fc80e ("mm: slub: Fix slab walking for init_on_free") fixed one problem with the slab walking but missed a key detail: When walking the list, the head and tail pointers need to be updated since we end up reversing the list as a result. Without doing this, bulk free is broken. One way this is exposed is a NULL pointer with slub_debug=F: ============================================================================= BUG skbuff_head_cache (Tainted: G T): Object already free ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFO: Slab 0x000000000d2d2f8f objects=16 used=3 fp=0x0000000064309071 flags=0x3fff00000000201 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Tainted: G B T 5.3.8 #1 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 RIP: 0010:print_trailer+0x70/0x1d5 Code: 28 4d 8b 4d 00 4d 8b 45 20 81 e2 ff 7f 00 00 e8 86 ce ef ff 8b 4b 20 48 89 ea 48 89 ee 4c 29 e2 48 c7 c7 90 6f d4 89 48 01 e9 <48> 33 09 48 33 8b 70 01 00 00 e8 61 ce ef ff f6 43 09 04 74 35 8b RSP: 0018:ffffbf7680003d58 EFLAGS: 00010046 RAX: 000000000000005d RBX: ffffa3d2bb08e540 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 00005c2d8fdc2000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffffffff89d46f90 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000242 R09: 000000000000006c R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000030 R12: ffffa3d27023e000 R13: fffff11080c08f80 R14: ffffa3d2bb047a80 R15: 0000000000000002 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffffa3d2be400000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 000000007a6c4000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 Call Trace: <IRQ> free_debug_processing.cold.37+0xc9/0x149 ? __kfree_skb_flush+0x30/0x40 ? __kfree_skb_flush+0x30/0x40 __slab_free+0x22a/0x3d0 ? tcp_wfree+0x2a/0x140 ? __sock_wfree+0x1b/0x30 kmem_cache_free_bulk+0x415/0x420 ? __kfree_skb_flush+0x30/0x40 __kfree_skb_flush+0x30/0x40 net_rx_action+0x2dd/0x480 __do_softirq+0xf0/0x246 irq_exit+0x93/0xb0 do_IRQ+0xa0/0x110 common_interrupt+0xf/0xf </IRQ> Given we're now almost identical to the existing debugging code which correctly walks the list, combine with that.
