In case of a use after free kernel oops, the freeing path of the object
is required to debug futher. In most of cases the object address is
present in one of the registers.
Thus check the register's address and if it belongs to slab, print its
alloc and free path.
e.g. in the below issue register r6 belongs to slab, and a use after
free issue occurred on one of its dereferenced values:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6b6f

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
