As reported by Henry Burns:
Running z3fold stress testing with address sanitization showed zhdr->slots
was being used after it was freed.
z3fold_free(z3fold_pool, handle)
free_handle(handle)
kmem_cache_free(pool->c_handle, zhdr->slots)
release_z3fold_page_locked_list(kref)
__release_z3fold_page(zhdr, true)
zhdr_to_pool(zhdr)
slots_to_pool(zhdr->slots) *BOOM*
To fix this, add pointer to the pool back to z3fold_header and modify
zhdr_to_pool to return zhdr->pool.

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.
