[PATCH v7 18/38] mm: slub: Disable KMSAN when checking the padding bytes

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

 



Even though the KMSAN warnings generated by memchr_inv() are suppressed
by metadata_access_enable(), its return value may still be poisoned.

The reason is that the last iteration of memchr_inv() returns
`*start != value ? start : NULL`, where *start is poisoned. Because of
this, somewhat counterintuitively, the shadow value computed by
visitSelectInst() is equal to `(uintptr_t)start`.

One possibility to fix this, since the intention behind guarding
memchr_inv() behind metadata_access_enable() is to touch poisoned
metadata without triggering KMSAN, is to unpoison its return value.
However, this approach is too fragile. So simply disable the KMSAN
checks in the respective functions.
