Subject: [PATCH 1/1] mm/slub.c: add a naive detection of double free or corruption
Add an assertion similar to "fasttop" check in GNU C Library allocator:
an object added to a singly linked freelist should not point to itself.
That helps to detect some double free errors (e.g. CVE-2017-2636) without
slub_debug and KASAN. Testing with hackbench doesn't show any noticeable
performance penalty.
