[PATCH v4 4/4] mm/slub: extend redzone check to cover extra allocated kmalloc space than requested

From: Feng Tang
Date: Mon Aug 29 2022 - 03:56:19 EST


kmalloc will round up the request size to a fixed size (mostly power
of 2), so there could be a extra space than what is requested, whose
size is the actual buffer size minus original request size.

To better detect out of bound access or abuse of this space, add
redzone sanity check for it.

And in current kernel, some kmalloc user already knows the existence
of the space and utilizes it after calling 'ksize()' to know the real
size of the allocated buffer. So we skip the redzone sanity check and
kmalloc wastage debug for objects which have been called with ksize(),
as treating them as legitimate users of the extra space.
