The patch titled Subject: kasan: only apply __GFP_ZEROTAGS when memory is zeroed has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kasan-only-apply-__gfp_zerotags-when-memory-is-zeroed.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kasan: only apply __GFP_ZEROTAGS when memory is zeroed __GFP_ZEROTAGS should only be effective if memory is being zeroed. Currently, hardware tag-based KASAN violates this requirement. Fix by including an initialization check along with checking for __GFP_ZEROTAGS.
