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.
