From 0937502af7c9b648ed4e884ccb7f504b01a005a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Wed, 28 May 2008 10:32:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] slub: Add check for kfree() of non slab objects. We can detect kfree()s on non slab objects by checking for PageCompound(). Works in the same way as for ksize. This helped me catch an invalid kfree().
