I've added poisoning to a few mm related structures, and managed to
confirm that the issue here is indeed corruption rather than something
specific with the given structures.

Right now I'm looking into making KASan (Cc Andrey) to mark the poison
bytes somehow so it would trigger an error on access, that way we'll
know what's corruption them.

Andrey, since it takes a while to trigger this corruption, could you
confirm that if I kasan_poison_shadow() a few bytes I will get a KASan
report on any read/write to them?


Thanks,
Sasha
