for the series. Thank you.
As for the backport I agree here with Vlastimil.
I pulled it into my RT tree for some testing and it looked good. I had
to
--- a/kernel/rcu/tree.c
+++ b/kernel/rcu/tree.c
@@ -3030,7 +3030,7 @@ __call_rcu(struct rcu_head *head, rcu_callback_t func)
head->func = func;
head->next = NULL;
local_irq_save(flags);
- kasan_record_aux_stack(head);

rdp = this_cpu_ptr(&rcu_data);
/* Add the callback to our list. */
We could move kasan_record_aux_stack() before that local_irq_save() but
then call_rcu() can be called preempt-disabled section so we would have
the same problem.
The second warning came from kasan_quarantine_remove_cache(). At the end
per_cpu_remove_cache() -> qlist_free_all() will free memory with
disabled interrupts (due to that smp-function call).
Moving it to kworker would solve the problem. I don't mind keeping that
smp_function call assuming that it is all debug-code and it increases
overall latency anyway. But then could we maybe move all those objects
to a single list which freed after on_each_cpu()?
Otherwise I haven't seen any new warnings showing up with KASAN enabled.
