Subject: [PATCH] eal: fix modify data area after memset
Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2023 17:04:15 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230912090415.48709-1-changfengnan@bytedance.com> (raw)

Let's look at this path:
malloc_elem_free
   ->malloc_elem_join_adjacent_free
      ->join_elem(elem, elem->next)

0. cur elem's pad > 0
1. data area memset in malloc_elem_free first.
2. next elem is free, try to join cur elem and next.
3. in join_elem, try to modify inner->size, this address had
memset in step 1, it casue the content of addrees become non-zero.

If user call rte_zmalloc, and pick this elem, it can't get all
zero'd memory.

Fixes: 2808a12cc053 (malloc: fix memory element size in case of padding)
