Subject: [PATCH v5] slab: reset obj_ext when it is not actually valid during freeing
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2025 22:16:42 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251015141642.700170-1-hao.ge@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Hao Ge <gehao@kylinos.cn>

If obj_exts allocation failed, slab->obj_exts is set to OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAIL,
But we did not clear it when freeing the slab. Since OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAIL and
MEMCG_DATA_OBJEXTS currently share the same bit position, during the
release of the associated folio, a VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO() check in
folio_memcg_kmem() is triggered because it was mistakenly assumed that
a valid folio->memcg_data was not cleared before freeing the folio.

When freeing a slab, we clear slab->obj_exts and reset it to 0
if the obj_ext array has been successfully allocated.
So let's reset slab->obj_exts to 0 when freeing a slab if
the obj_ext array allocated fail to allow them to be returned
to the buddy system more smoothly.
