Kees Cook 89b83f282d slub: avoid redzone when choosing freepointer location
Marco Elver reported system crashes when booting with "slub_debug=Z".

The freepointer location (s->offset) was not taking into account that
the "inuse" size that includes the redzone area should not be used by
the freelist pointer.  Change the calculation to save the area of the
object that an inline freepointer may be written into.

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

README

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.
