From: Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino@xxxxxxx> Subject: kasan, mm: untag page address in free_reserved_area free_reserved_area() memsets the pages belonging to a given memory area. As that memory hasn't been allocated via page_alloc, the KASAN tags that those pages have are 0x00. As the result the memset might result in a tag mismatch. Untag the address to avoid spurious faults.
