I'm not sure this addition makes sense: the original statement was to
point out that KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET and KASAN_SHADOW_START are
different values. Even if we were to map shadow for userspace,
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET would still be a weird offset value for Generic
KASAN.

This part of the comment doesn't seem correct: KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET is
still a weird offset value for Generic KASAN, not the smallest
possible shadow address.

Hm, I might be wrong, but I think this check does not work.

Let's say we have non-canonical address 0x4242424242424242 and number
of VA bits is 48.

Then:

KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET == 0xffff800000000000
kasan_mem_to_shadow(0x4242424242424242) == 0x0423a42424242424
max_shadow_size == 0x1000000000000000
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET - max_shadow_size / 2 == 0xf7ff800000000000
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET + max_shadow_size / 2 == 0x07ff800000000000 (overflows)

0x0423a42424242424 is < than 0xf7ff800000000000, so the function will
wrongly return.

Just to double-check: kasan_shadow_to_mem() and addr_has_metadata()
don't need any changes, right?

Could you also check that everything works when CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS +
CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE? I think it should, be makes sense to confirm.

Thank you!
