mm/slub.c: fix random_seq offset destruction
Commit 210e7a43fa90 ("mm: SLUB freelist randomization") broke USB hub initialisation as described in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177551. Bail out early from init_cache_random_seq if s->random_seq is already initialised. This prevents destroying the previously computed random_seq offsets later in the function. If the offsets are destroyed, then shuffle_freelist will truncate page->freelist to just the first object (orphaning the rest). Fixes: 210e7a43fa90 ("mm: SLUB freelist randomization") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170207140707.20824-1-sean@erifax.org Signed-off-by: Sean Rees <sean@erifax.org> Reported-by: <userwithuid@gmail.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: Thomas Garnier <thgarnie@google.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
