Waiman Long cbfc35a486 mm/slub: fix incorrect interpretation of s->offset
In a couple of places in the slub memory allocator, the code uses
"s->offset" as a check to see if the free pointer is put right after the
object.  That check is no longer true with commit 3202fa62fb ("slub:
relocate freelist pointer to middle of object").

As a result, echoing "1" into the validate sysfs file, e.g.  of dentry,
may cause a bunch of "Freepointer corrupt" error reports like the
following to appear with the system in panic afterwards.

  =============================================================================
  BUG dentry(666:pmcd.service) (Tainted: G    B): Freepointer corrupt
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

To fix it, use the check "s->offset == s->inuse" in the new helper
function freeptr_outside_object() instead.  Also add another helper
function get_info_end() to return the end of info block (inuse + free
pointer if not overlapping with object).

Fixes: 3202fa62fb ("slub: relocate freelist pointer to middle of object")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
