When kasan is enabled for slab/slub, it may save kasan' free_meta data in the former part of slab object data area in slab object's free path, which works fine. There is ongoing effort to extend slub's debug function which will redzone the latter part of kmalloc object area, and when both of the debug are enabled, there is possible conflict, especially when the kmalloc object has small size, as caught by 0Day bot [1]. To solve it, slub code needs to know the in-object kasan's meta data size. Currently, there is existing kasan_metadata_size() which returns the kasan's metadata size inside slub's metadata area, so extend it to also cover the in-object meta size by adding a boolean flag 'in_object'. There is no functional change to existing code logic.

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.
