Subject: alloc_tag: fix set_codetag_empty() when !CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG
Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2024 16:14:23 -0800
It was recently noticed that set_codetag_empty() might be used not only to
mark NULL alloctag references as empty to avoid warnings but also to reset
valid tags (in clear_page_tag_ref()). Since set_codetag_empty() is
defined as NOOP for CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n, such use of
set_codetag_empty() leads to subtle bugs. Fix set_codetag_empty() for
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n to reset the tag reference.
