Subject: mm/kfence: add a new kunit test test_use_after_free_read_nofault()
Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2024 23:16:01 +0530
Faults from copy_from_kernel_nofault() need to be handled by fixup table
and should not be handled by kfence. Otherwise while reading /proc/kcore
which uses copy_from_kernel_nofault(), kfence can generate false
negatives. This can happen when /proc/kcore ends up reading an unmapped
address from kfence pool.
Let's add a testcase to cover this case.
