The patch titled Subject: kasan, vmalloc: only tag normal vmalloc allocations has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kasan-vmalloc-only-tag-normal-vmalloc-allocations.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kasan, vmalloc: only tag normal vmalloc allocations The kernel can use to allocate executable memory. The only supported way to do that is via __vmalloc_node_range() with the executable bit set in the prot argument. (vmap() resets the bit via pgprot_nx()). Once tag-based KASAN modes start tagging vmalloc allocations, executing code from such allocations will lead to the PC register getting a tag, which is not tolerated by the kernel. Only tag the allocations for normal kernel pages.
