[PATCH 0/5] mm/slub: Improve data handling of krealloc() when orig_size is enabled
Posted by Feng Tang 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Danilo Krummrich's patch [1] raised one problem about krealloc() that
its caller doesn't know what's the actual request size, say the object
is 64 bytes kmalloc one, but the original caller may only requested 48
bytes. And when krealloc() shrinks or grows in the same object, or
allocate a new bigger object, it lacks this 'original size' information
to do accurate data preserving or zeroing (when __GFP_ZERO is set).

And when some slub debug option is enabled, kmalloc caches do have this
'orig_size' feature. As suggested by Vlastimil, utilize it to do more
accurate data handling, as well as enforce the kmalloc-redzone sanity check.

To make the 'orig_size' accurate, we adjust some kasan/slub meta data
handling. Also add a slub kunit test case for krealloc().

This patchset has dependency over patches in both -mm tree and -slab
trees, so it is written based on linux-next tree '20240905' version.

Thanks, given the timing with merge window opening soon, I would take this
into the slab tree after the merge window, when the current -next becomes
6.12-rc1.

Sounds good to me. Thanks for the review!
