[PATCH v5 18/37] mm: kfence: Disable KMSAN when checking the canary

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



KMSAN warns about check_canary() accessing the canary.

The reason is that, even though set_canary() is properly instrumented
and sets shadow, slub explicitly poisons the canary's address range
afterwards.

Unpoisoning the canary is not the right thing to do: only
check_canary() is supposed to ever touch it. Instead, disable KMSAN
checks around canary read accesses.
