  The original kfence pool layout (Given a layout with 2 objects):

 +------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+
 | guard page | guard page |   object   | guard page |   object   | guard page |
 +------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+
                           |                         |                         |
                           +----kfence_metadata[0]---+----kfence_metadata[1]---+

The comment says "the additional page in the beginning gives us an even
number of pages, which simplifies the mapping of address to metadata index".

However, removing the additional page does not complicate any mapping
calculations. So changing it to the new layout to save a page. And remmove
the KFENCE_ERROR_INVALID test since we cannot test this case easily.

The new kfence pool layout (Given a layout with 2 objects):

 +------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+
 | guard page |   object   | guard page |   object   | guard page |
 +------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+
 |                         |                         |

The last page is just a normal guard page? I.e. the last 2 pages are:
<object page> | <guard page>

Or did I misunderstand?

Could we retain this WARN_ON? Or just get rid of
metadata_to_pageaddr() altogether, because there's only 1 use left and
the function would now just be a simple ALIGN_DOWN() anyway.

Assume there is a right OOB that hit the last guard page. In this case

  addr >= __kfence_pool + (NUM_OBJECTS * 2 * PAGE_SIZE) && addr <
__kfence_pool + POOL_SIZE

therefore

  index >= (NUM_OBJECTS * 2 * PAGE_SIZE) / (PAGE_SIZE * 2) && index <
POOL_SIZE / (PAGE_SIZE * 2)
  index == NUM_OBJECTS

And according to the above comparison, this will return NULL and
report KFENCE_ERROR_INVALID, which is wrong.

The test can be retained by doing an access to a guard page in between
2 unallocated objects. But it's probably not that easy to reliably set
that up (could try to allocate 2 objects and see if they're next to
each other, then free them).

Right.

The new kfence pool layout (Given a layout with 2 objects):

I'll inline this function to its caller since the warning is unlikely.

Look at kfence_handle_page_fault(), which first look up "addr - PAGE_SIZE" (passed
to addr_to_metadata()) and then look up "addr + PAGE_SIZE", the former will not
return NULL, the latter will return NULL. So kfence will report KFENCE_ERROR_OOB
in this case, right? Or what I missed here?
