[Old patch from yesterday]
After applying your patch on top on linux next tag 20201015
there are two observations,
1) i386 build failed. please find build error build
Yes, this was expected. That patch explicitly only works on x86-64,
because 32-bit needs the double register handling for 64-bit values
(mainly loff_t).
2) x86_64 kasan test PASS and the reported error not found.
Ok, good. That confirms that the problem you reported is indeed the
register allocation.
The patch I sent an hour ago (the one based on Rasmus' one from
yesterday) should fix things too, and - unlike yesterday's - work on
32-bit.
But I'll wait for confirmation (and hopefully a sign-off from Rasmus
so that I can give him authorship) before actually committing it.
