Guenter Roeck 4d8e9c2aa6 mm/slub, kunit: Use inverted data to corrupt kmem cache
[ Upstream commit b1080c667b3b2c8c38a7fa83ca5567124887abae ]

Two failure patterns are seen randomly when running slub_kunit tests with
CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM and CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED enabled.

Pattern 1:
     # test_clobber_zone: pass:1 fail:0 skip:0 total:1
     ok 1 test_clobber_zone
     # test_next_pointer: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/slub_kunit.c:72
     Expected 3 == slab_errors, but
         slab_errors == 0 (0x0)
     # test_next_pointer: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/slub_kunit.c:84
     Expected 2 == slab_errors, but
         slab_errors == 0 (0x0)
     # test_next_pointer: pass:0 fail:1 skip:0 total:1
     not ok 2 test_next_pointer

In this case, test_next_pointer() overwrites p[s->offset], but the data
at p[s->offset] is already 0x12.

Pattern 2:
     ok 1 test_clobber_zone
     # test_next_pointer: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/slub_kunit.c:72
     Expected 3 == slab_errors, but
         slab_errors == 2 (0x2)
     # test_next_pointer: pass:0 fail:1 skip:0 total:1
     not ok 2 test_next_pointer

In this case, p[s->offset] has a value other than 0x12, but one of the
expected failures is nevertheless missing.

Invert data instead of writing a fixed value to corrupt the cache data
structures to fix the problem.

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.
