xdp: remove memory poison on free for struct xdp_mem_allocator
When looking at the details I realised that the memory poison in __xdp_mem_allocator_rcu_free doesn't make sense. This is because the SLUB allocator uses the first 16 bytes (on 64 bit), for its freelist, which overlap with members in struct xdp_mem_allocator, that were updated. Thus, SLUB already does the "poisoning" for us. I still believe that poisoning memory make sense in other cases. Kernel have gained different use-after-free detection mechanism, but enabling those is associated with a huge overhead. Experience is that debugging facilities can change the timing so much, that that a race condition will not be provoked when enabled. Thus, I'm still in favour of poisoning memory where it makes sense. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
