[patch 152/163] mm/page_alloc: silence a KASAN false positive

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

 



From: Qian Cai <cai@xxxxxx>
Subject: mm/page_alloc: silence a KASAN false positive

kernel_init_free_pages() will use memset() on s390 to clear all pages from
kmalloc_order() which will override KASAN redzones because a redzone was
setup from the end of the allocation size to the end of the last page. 
Silence it by not reporting it there.  An example of the report is,

 BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in __free_pages_ok
