[PATCH v6 11/18] khwasan, mm: perform untagged pointers comparison in krealloc

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

 



The krealloc function checks where the same buffer was reused or a new one
allocated by comparing kernel pointers. KHWASAN changes memory tag on the
krealloc'ed chunk of memory and therefore also changes the pointer tag of
the returned pointer. Therefore we need to perform comparison on untagged
(with tags reset) pointers to check whether it's the same memory region or
not.
