The patch titled Subject: kasan: fix kasan_byte_accessible() to be consistent with actual checks has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kasan-fix-kasan_byte_accessible-to-be-consistent-with-actual-checks.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Peter Collingbourne <pcc@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kasan: fix kasan_byte_accessible() to be consistent with actual checks We can sometimes end up with kasan_byte_accessible() being called on non-slab memory. For example ksize() and krealloc() may end up calling it on KFENCE allocated memory. In this case the memory will be tagged with KASAN_SHADOW_INIT, which a subsequent patch ("kasan: initialize shadow to TAG_INVALID for SW_TAGS") will set to the same value as KASAN_TAG_INVALID, causing kasan_byte_accessible() to fail when called on non-slab memory. This highlighted the fact that the check in kasan_byte_accessible() was inconsistent with checks as implemented for loads and stores (kasan_check_range() in SW tags mode and hardware-implemented checks in HW tags mode). kasan_check_range() does not have a check for KASAN_TAG_INVALID, and instead has a comparison against KASAN_SHADOW_START. In HW tags mode, we do not have either, but we do set TCR_EL1.TCMA which corresponds with the comparison against KASAN_TAG_KERNEL. Therefore, update kasan_byte_accessible() for both SW and HW tags modes to correspond with the respective checks on loads and stores.
