Subject: [PATCH v2] codetag: debug: handle existing CODETAG_EMPTY in mark_objexts_empty for slabobj_ext
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 09:43:17 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251029014317.1533488-1-hao.ge@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Hao Ge <gehao@kylinos.cn>
When alloc_slab_obj_exts() fails and then later succeeds in allocating
a slab extension vector, it calls handle_failed_objexts_alloc() to
mark all objects in the vector as empty. As a result all objects in
this slab (slabA) will have their extensions set to CODETAG_EMPTY.
Later on if this slabA is used to allocate a slabobj_ext vector for
another slab (slabB), we end up with the slabB->obj_exts pointing to a
slabobj_ext vector that itself has a non-NULL slabobj_ext equal to
CODETAG_EMPTY. When slabB gets freed, free_slab_obj_exts() is called
to free slabB->obj_exts vector. free_slab_obj_exts() calls
mark_objexts_empty(slabB->obj_exts) which will generate a warning
because it expects slabobj_ext vectors to have a NULL obj_ext, not
CODETAG_EMPTY.
Modify mark_objexts_empty() to skip the warning and setting the
obj_ext value if it's already set to CODETAG_EMPTY.
Fixes: 09c46563ff6d ("codetag: debug: introduce OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAIL to mark failed slab_ext allocations")
