The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLAB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. For example this attack against SLUB (also applicable against SLAB) would be affected: https://jon.oberheide.org/blog/2010/09/10/linux-kernel-can-slub-overflow/ Also, since v4.6 the freelist was moved at the end of the SLAB. It means a controllable heap is opened to new attacks not yet publicly discussed. A kernel heap overflow can be transformed to multiple use-after-free. This feature makes this type of attack harder too. To generate entropy, we use get_random_bytes_arch because 0 bits of entropy is available at that boot stage. In the worse case this function will fallback to the get_random_bytes sub API. The config option name is not specific to the SLAB as this approach will be extended to other allocators like SLUB.
