I don't get it, isn't that already guaranteed because we
look for the page that ptr is in, before __check_heap_object
is called?
Specifically, in patch 3/12:
+ page = virt_to_head_page(ptr);
+
+ /* Check slab allocator for flags and size. */
+ if (PageSlab(page))
+ return __check_heap_object(ptr, n, page);
How can that generate a ptr that is not inside the page?
What am I overlooking? And, should it be in the changelog or
a comment? :)
