    mm: slub: Fix slab walking for init_on_free · 1b7e816f
    Laura Abbott authored
    To properly clear the slab on free with slab_want_init_on_free, we walk
    the list of free objects using get_freepointer/set_freepointer.
    
    The value we get from get_freepointer may not be valid.  This isn't an
    issue since an actual value will get written later but this means
    there's a chance of triggering a bug if we use this value with
    set_freepointer:

    Fix this by ensuring the value we set with set_freepointer is either NULL
    or another value in the chain.
