Yes, please see
[PATCH 2/3] introduce probe_slab_address()
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/
I sent 5 years ago ;) Do you think
/*
* Same as probe_kernel_address(), but @addr must be the valid pointer
* to a slab object, potentially freed/reused/unmapped.
*/
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
#define probe_slab_address(addr, retval) \
probe_kernel_address(addr, retval)
#else
#define probe_slab_address(addr, retval) \
({ \
(retval) = *(typeof(retval) *)(addr); \
0; \
})
#endif
can work?
Oleg.
