mm: kfence: fix missing objcg housekeeping for SLAB
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit ae085d7 upstream.

The objcg is not cleared and put for kfence object when it is freed,
which could lead to memory leak for struct obj_cgroup and wrong
statistics of NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B or NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B.

Since the last freed object's objcg is not cleared,
mem_cgroup_from_obj() could return the wrong memcg when this kfence
object, which is not charged to any objcgs, is reallocated to other
users.

A real word issue [1] is caused by this bug.
