The patch titled Subject: kasan: separate double free case from invalid free has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is kasan-separate-double-free-case-from-invalid-free.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/kasan-separate-double-free-case-from-invalid-free.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Kuan-Ying Lee <Kuan-Ying.Lee@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kasan: separate double free case from invalid free Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2022 14:22:18 +0800 Currently, KASAN describes all invalid-free/double-free bugs as "double-free or invalid-free". This is ambiguous. KASAN should report "double-free" when a double-free is a more likely cause (the address points to the start of an object) and report "invalid-free" otherwise [1].
