Subject: [PATCH] percpu: add basic double free check
Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2025 16:27:37 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251220002737.84100-1-dennis@kernel.org> (raw)
This adds a basic double free check by validating the first bit of the
allocation in alloc_map and bound_map are set. If the alloc_map bit is
not set, then this means the area is currently unallocated. If the
bound_map bit is not set, then we are not freeing from the beginning of
the allocation.
This is a respin of [1] adding the requested changes from me and
Christoph.
