Hao Ge 1abbdf3d57 codetag: debug: handle existing CODETAG_EMPTY in mark_objexts_empty for slabobj_ext
When alloc_slab_obj_exts() fails and then later succeeds in allocating a
slab extension vector, it calls handle_failed_objexts_alloc() to mark all
objects in the vector as empty.  As a result all objects in this slab
(slabA) will have their extensions set to CODETAG_EMPTY.

Later on if this slabA is used to allocate a slabobj_ext vector for
another slab (slabB), we end up with the slabB->obj_exts pointing to a
slabobj_ext vector that itself has a non-NULL slabobj_ext equal to
CODETAG_EMPTY.  When slabB gets freed, free_slab_obj_exts() is called to
free slabB->obj_exts vector.  

free_slab_obj_exts() calls mark_objexts_empty(slabB->obj_exts) which will
generate a warning because it expects slabobj_ext vectors to have a NULL
obj_ext, not CODETAG_EMPTY.

Modify mark_objexts_empty() to skip the warning and setting the obj_ext
value if it's already set to CODETAG_EMPTY.


To quickly detect this WARN, I modified the code from
WARN_ON(slab_exts[offs].ref.ct) to BUG_ON(slab_exts[offs].ref.ct == 1);

We then obtained this message:

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 reStructuredText 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.
